A settlement has been reached in a class action lawsuit against Derick Dermatology, PLLC (“Defendant”). The material allegations of the complaint center on Defendant’s alleged disclosure of information to third parties via pixels, cookies, code, and/or tracking or analytics tools on Defendant’s website allegedly without permission. Defendant denies that it violated any law but has agreed to the Settlement solely to avoid the cost, disruption to its business operations, and uncertainty associated with defending the lawsuit.
Class Members are defined as individuals who, from November 21, 2023, through November 27, 2025, made an appointment on www.derickdermatology.com or a subdomain thereof.
Settlement Class Members who file a valid Claim Form can receive a cash payment of up to $12.50. Additionally, Settlement Class Members will be automatically granted one-year subscription to Privacy Shield with no subscription fee. The cash payment may be reduced pro rata (a legal term meaning equal share) depending on the number of valid Claims filed.
