iOS App Settlement
www.iosappsettlement.com/Home.aspxKong Technologies Apps Privacy Class Action Settlement
This lawsuit involves several coordinated cases brought against several companies that developed apps for Apple i Devices (iPhone, iPad, or iPod Touch), and alleges that certain versions of the Foodspotting, Foursquare, Gowalla, Instagram, Kik, Path, Twitter, and Yelp apps obtained contact data from users’ iDevices in violation of user’s privacy rights, and that Apple aided and abetted that conduct. The lawsuit also alleges that Apple misrepresented the privacy and safety of its iDevices. This Settlement resolves all privacy claims against the App Developers and Apple, but does not affect the misrepresentation claim against Apple.
Claim filing deadline: November 10, 2017
The App Developers have agreed to pay, collectively, $5.3 million
“The Court has, however, determined that even if the Class Representatives are correct, the Class would only be potentially entitled to receive nominal damages for the privacy claims. Nominal damages are typically considered to be one dollar ($1).”

Deadline approaching. Last day to file is November 10th.
