If you are a current or past patient of DaVita and visited one of its websites, patient portals, or mobile applications at least once between November 20, 2017, and September 21, 2023, you may be entitled to benefits from a settlement.
A Court has authorized this website. This is not a solicitation from a lawyer.
- A $3,800,000 settlement has been reached in a class action lawsuit against DaVita Inc. (“Defendant” or “DaVita”), over Defendant DaVita’s alleged implementation and use of third-party web tracking and analytics tools on DaVita’s websites, patient portals, and mobile applications owned, operated, or managed by DaVita or its subsidiaries or affiliates. Plaintiffs allege that DaVita’s use of these tools disclosed their web usage data, containing personally identifiable information and protected health information, to Facebook, Google, and other third-parties. DaVita denies the allegations in the lawsuit. Plaintiffs and the Defendants have agreed to a Settlement. The Court has not decided in favor of either Party.
- You are a “Settlement Class Member” if you are, or were, a patient of DaVita who was treated at DaVita’s U.S. clinics and who visited any websites, patient portals, and/or mobile applications owned, operated, or managed directly or indirectly by DaVita or its subsidiaries or affiliates at least once between November 20, 2017, and up to and including September 21, 2023.
- If you are a Settlement Class Member, you may file a Claim Form to receive:
- Privacy Shield. Settlement Class Members may enroll in one year of Privacy Shield, a data protection and monitoring service, and/or
- Cash Compensation. Settlement Class Members may file a claim for a pro-rated cash payment, which will be calculated by dividing the Net Settlement Fund, less the cost of providing one year of Privacy Shield Services to Settlement Class Members who have made valid claims, by the total number of valid claims received.
