What Happened?
Oracle has been caught tracking web activity, in-store purchases, geolocation, and other personal info—all without consumer consent. The company allegedly sold this data to third parties for advertising (classic move, right?).
Of course, Oracle didn’t admit any wrongdoing but did agree to a $115 million settlement to resolve the data privacy class action lawsuit.

What is the background on this settlement?
The complaint in this case alleges that Oracle tracks individuals’ online activity (e.g., web browsing) and offline activity (e.g., in-store purchases, geolocation) and combines this and other information and makes this and other derivative data available to third parties without individuals’ consent.
The Court has not ruled in favor of either Plaintiffs or the Defendant. Instead, both sides have agreed to a settlement. By agreeing to the Settlement, the parties avoid the costs and uncertainty of a trial, and if the Settlement is approved by the Court, Settlement Class Members who submit timely and valid claim forms will receive a Settlement Payment, as described in this Notice. Defendant denies all legal claims in this case. Plaintiffs and their lawyers think the proposed Settlement is best for everyone who is affected.

Excluded from the Settlement Class are: (i) Oracle; (ii) Oracle’s parents, subsidiaries, affiliates, officers, directors, investors, and employees; (iii) any entity in which Oracle has a controlling interest; (iv) any individual who would otherwise be included in the Settlement Class, but has agreed, in another proceeding, to release claims covered by this Settlement prior to the Claim Form deadline identified in Section 3.6 of the Settlement Agreement; and (v) any judge presiding over this case, their staff, and the members of the judge’s immediate family.
