If you used GoodRx in the United States before April 20, 2024, the GoodRx privacy settlement pays an equal share of a $32 million fund to everyone who files a valid claim. The claim form asks for no receipt, no document and no notice code, and claims close December 29, 2026.
GoodRx is a prescription coupon and telehealth company. Its main website and app let people look up drug prices and download discount coupons, and its other services include GoodRx Gold, a paid membership, and HeyDoctor and GoodRx Care, which provide online doctor visits. Criteo is an advertising technology company that places ads based on what people do online.
The lawsuit alleges that from at least 2017 to 2020, GoodRx passed users’ personal and health information, including prescription details, health conditions, email addresses and phone numbers, to Criteo, Meta and Google through tracking pixels, software development kits, cookies and other code built into its website and apps. The plaintiffs say those companies then used the information for their own purposes. GoodRx and Criteo deny the allegations and deny violating any law. The court granted preliminary approval of the settlement on September 8, 2026, and has not yet decided whether to give final approval.
This settlement resolves only the claims against GoodRx and Criteo. The claims against Meta and Google are still being litigated and are not part of this deal.
The FTC reached its own resolution with GoodRx over the same data sharing in February 2023. GoodRx paid a $1.5 million civil penalty to the government and agreed to a ban on sharing users’ health information for advertising. That money did not go to consumers and is separate from this class settlement.
Who Is Eligible for the GoodRx Privacy Settlement?
Anyone in the United States who used a GoodRx website, app or service at any time before April 20, 2024.
Looking up a coupon once counts, and so does a GoodRx Gold membership or a HeyDoctor or GoodRx Care visit. There is no purchase requirement and no state restriction, and you do not need to have received a notice email. The class is limited to individual people, so businesses do not qualify.
Excluded from the class are GoodRx and Criteo and their affiliates, officers and directors, Meta and Google, the judges handling the case and their clerks, and anyone who opts out.
How Much Can You Get?
An equal share of the net settlement fund. No per-person figure has been announced, because the amount depends on how many valid claims arrive by December 29, 2026.
The court record gives one estimate. In a January 2026 order, the judge noted that the plaintiffs put the class at about 54.8 million people, expected 3 to 10 percent of them to file, and calculated that a 6 percent claims rate would produce about $9.73 per person. That figure is the plaintiffs’ projection on the same $32 million fund, not a promise, and a lower claims rate would push it up.
The fund starts at $32 million. Before it is divided, it pays notice and administration costs, taxes, fund account costs, attorneys’ fees and expenses, service awards and any other costs the court approves. Class counsel will ask for fees of up to one third of the fund, which works out to about $10.67 million, plus up to $125,000 in litigation expenses. Each named plaintiff may request a service award of up to $2,000. The court rules on those requests at or after the final approval hearing.
The fund is non-reversionary. Whatever remains after costs goes to claimants, and nothing returns to GoodRx or Criteo.
The claim form lets you choose how to be paid: PayPal, Venmo, Zelle, a virtual prepaid card or a mailed check. If the electronic details you provide do not work, the administrator mails a check instead. Checks become void if not cashed within 60 days of issue.
What Proof Do You Need?
None. The online claim form asks for your name, mailing address, email address, phone number, a payment choice and an electronic signature. There is no field for a claimant ID code and no place to upload documents.
The form requires an attestation. You check a box confirming you are a class member and certify that the information you entered is true, correct and complete.
The settlement administrator, A.B. Data, reviews every claim for validity, timeliness and completeness and may audit claims for fraud. If the administrator finds a problem with your form, you get written notice and 20 days to fix it. A claim that is not corrected within that window is treated as invalid.
Each class member may file one claim. Anyone filing on behalf of another person must attach documentation showing their authority to act for that person.
How Do You File a Claim?
File online using the official GoodRx settlement claim form by 11:59 p.m. Eastern Time on December 29, 2026. The same form opens from the File a Claim button on GoodRxPrivacySettlement.com, and a printable Confirmation of Claim Receipt appears on screen after you submit.
To file by mail, download the paper claim form from the settlement website and send it, postmarked by December 29, 2026, to:
GoodRx Data Disclosure Settlement c/o A.B. Data, Ltd. P.O. Box 173138 Milwaukee, WI 53217
Questions go to the administrator at 1-877-888-9232 or [email protected]. The notice asks class members not to contact the court or the clerk’s office.
Filing is free. Ignore anyone who offers to process your claim for a fee.
Key Deadlines
December 29, 2026 is the claim deadline, the opt-out deadline and the objection deadline. Exclusion requests go by mail and must be postmarked by that date; objections are filed with the court.
November 24, 2026 is the deadline for class counsel to file their motions for final approval, fees, expenses and service awards. Those papers will be posted on the settlement website once filed.
February 11, 2027 at 11:00 a.m. is the final approval hearing before Judge Araceli Martínez-Olguín at the federal courthouse in Oakland, California. The date may change without notice, and the hearing may be held remotely.
What Are You Giving Up?
If you stay in the class, you release GoodRx, Criteo and their related parties from all claims tied to the alleged data disclosure through tracking technologies on GoodRx’s website, app and services before April 20, 2024. The release applies whether or not you file a claim. It does not reach Meta or Google.
Opting out is the only way to keep the right to sue GoodRx or Criteo on your own. An exclusion request must be in writing and mailed to GoodRx Data Disclosure Settlement, Attn: Exclusions, P.O. Box 173001, Milwaukee, WI 53217. It has to include the case name and number, your full name, address, phone number and email, the claimant ID code from your notice, your original signature and a clear statement that you want to be excluded. A request missing any of those items is invalid, and you remain in the class.
Objecting does not cost you the payment. A class member who stays in the settlement can file a written objection with the court and still submit a claim form. Someone who opts out cannot object.
When Will Payments Be Made?
The settlement agreement gives the administrator 45 days after the effective date to send payments, and that date arrives only after final approval and the end of any appeals, which the notice warns can take a year or more.
No payment date has been announced. Status updates will be posted on the settlement website.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need the code from the GoodRx notice email to file?
No. The emailed notice carries a claimant ID code and a confirmation code, but the online claim form has no field for either one. You can file without ever having received an email. The claimant ID code matters only if you want to opt out, because a written exclusion request must include it.
Does the GoodRx settlement cover Meta and Google?
No. Meta and Google are defendants in the same case, but the claims against them are still being litigated. This settlement resolves only the claims against GoodRx and Criteo, and the release covers only those two companies and their related parties.
Can two people in the same household each file a claim?
Yes. Eligibility is per person, not per household. Each class member files one claim for one equal share.
What happens to settlement checks that are never cashed?
Checks become void 60 days after issue. Under the settlement agreement, money from uncashed checks is redistributed to claimants who cashed their checks or chose electronic payment, as long as each redistributed share would be at least $5. Any money still left more than 180 days after payments go out is donated to the Center for Internet and Society at Stanford Law School. None of it returns to GoodRx or Criteo.
Could the settlement still fall apart?
Yes. The court has granted only preliminary approval and will consider final approval at the February 11, 2027 hearing. GoodRx and Criteo also have the right to terminate the settlement if the number of opt-outs exceeds a threshold set in a confidential side agreement. If the settlement is not approved or is terminated, no payments are made and the case continues.
Was there an earlier GoodRx settlement?
Yes, two. The court rejected a GoodRx-only deal at a hearing on June 13, 2025, citing problems with the class definition, the breadth of the release and the size of the fund. The parties then added Criteo and signed the $32 million agreement on November 19, 2025, but the court rejected that version too in a written order on January 16, 2026, finding the release still too broad for what class members would receive. A March 24, 2026 addendum narrowed the release, and the court preliminarily approved the result on September 8, 2026. That is the settlement now open for claims.
