Did you Purchase a VIZIO Smart TV Connected to the Internet Between February 1, 2014 and February 6, 2017? Now you may be able to get $13 to $31 from a class action settlement as part of a $17 million settlement.

“The class action alleges VIZIO violated privacy laws and consumer-protection laws by collecting sensitive information about what was displayed on certain VIZIO Smart TVs between February 1, 2014 and February 6, 2017 and selling your data to advertisers without sufficient disclosures. VIZIO denies these allegations. The court has not decided who is right.” Said Cotchett, Pitre & McCarthy, LLP, Gibbs Law Group LLP in a statement released on February 8th, 2019.

According to their website you are eligible for part of this $17 million if you are:

An individual in the United States who purchased a VIZIO Smart Television for personal or household use, and not for resale, that was subsequently connected to the Internet at any time between February 1, 2014 and February 6, 2017.

Only one purchaser per Smart TV per household may qualify. Anyone who purchased more than one qualifying Smart TV may submit a claim for each TV.

If you are not sure whether you are included in the class, you can ask for free help by calling the Settlement Administrator at 877-252-4685 for more information.
