Who Was Eligible
The class covered anyone who used Tubi at any point between June 23, 2021, and August 26, 2024. Both registered account holders and people who watched without an account could file, though non-registered users had to identify the type of device they used and the approximate dates of use. Registered users provided their name, current mailing address, and the email address tied to their Tubi account, including any alternate email they had used.2VideoStreamingSettlement.com. Gregory v.

What Claimants Get Paid
The $19,990,000 fund is split pro rata. Every claimant with a valid claim receives an equal share of whatever remains after the court-approved deductions come off the top: administration costs, attorneys’ fees, and a service award. That means the per-person amount depends entirely on how many valid claims were filed, and it is not a fixed dollar figure.2VideoStreamingSettlement.com. Gregory v. Tubi, Inc. Settlement FAQ
Class counsel, McGuire Law, P.C., asked for up to 35% of the fund for fees and expenses. The class representative, Jacqueline Gregory, was to receive a $5,000 service award. Checks that go uncashed after 90 days are directed to a court-approved charitable recipient rather than redistributed.2VideoStreamingSettlement.com. Gregory v. Tubi, Inc. Settlement FAQ
Where Payments Stand
The court granted final approval, and the settlement moved into distribution. According to an October 31, 2025 notice on the official settlement website, payments were being issued to claimants. Anyone who selected a digital payment method and ran into a problem was told the payment would be re-issued by check.1VideoStreamingSettlement.com. Gregory v. Tubi, Inc. Settlement

What the Lawsuit Alleged
The case, Gregory v. Tubi, Inc., was filed in Winnebago County, Illinois. The complaint alleged that Tubi used hidden tracking software to capture user information and share it with third-party advertisers for targeted marketing. The data at issue allegedly included information sufficient to identify individual users, their exact locations, device details, and the specific videos they watched, all of which the plaintiff argued was disclosed without the consent the Video Privacy Protection Act requires.4ClassAction.org.

Tubi denied the allegations and maintained throughout the case that it did not violate the VPPA. The settlement is not an admission of wrongdoing by the company.1VideoStreamingSettlement.com. Gregory v. Tubi, Inc. Settlement
If You Opted Out
Nearly 24,000 users chose to exclude themselves from the class, represented by the firm Keller Postman, which intended to pursue individual arbitration claims against Tubi. In November 2025, Reuters reported that Tubi and Keller Postman reached a confidential settlement resolving those arbitration claims, and Keller Postman dismissed an appeal it had filed in the Illinois class action on behalf of ten individuals.5Reuters.
