Oracle's $115 million privacy settlement is now paying people who filed valid claims over data the company allegedly captured and sold without consent. The first wave of $37.42 payments started going out September 21, and distribution is expected to wrap by early December.

What Is This Settlement About?

The case is Katz-Lacabe, et al. v. Oracle America, Inc., No. 3:22-cv-04792-RS, in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California. Plaintiffs alleged Oracle improperly captured, compiled, and sold individuals' online and offline data to third parties without their consent, including through products like its "ID Graph" and "Data Marketplace."

Oracle denied all allegations and any wrongdoing. The $115 million settlement was reached without a court finding of liability.

The class covered U.S. residents whose personal information was collected by Oracle's advertising technologies or sold through its data products from August 19, 2018, to final judgment.

Who Gets Paid?

The claim deadline was October 17, 2024. If you didn't file by then, you can't collect from this settlement.

For those who filed a valid claim, payments of $37.42 are on their way via the method chosen when filing: Zelle, Venmo, ACH transfer, virtual prepaid card or paper check.

Under the settlement, each valid claimant receives one equal pro rata share of the net settlement fund.

Watch for Scams

Settlement payment season is prime time for impersonators. A real payment from the Oracle settlement requires nothing from you - no SSN verification, no bank account confirmation, no fee of any kind.

If you get an unexpected text or email claiming to offer Oracle settlement money in exchange for personal details, ignore it. Official communications come from katzprivacysettlement.com and its court-appointed administrator.
