TikTok users nationally, and especially in Illinois, can benefit after a $92 million settlement was reached.
According to a website that details the settlement, TikTok was alleged in the complaint "to have violated federal and state law by collecting and using, without sufficient notice and consent, plaintiffs' personal data in connection with their use of the TikTok - Make Your Day video-sharing application (and/or its predecessor app Musical.ly) distributed in the U.S."
TikTok says it denies "these allegations and other material allegations in the operative complaint."
The settlement affects two groups of people: nationwide and the state of Illinois.
Those eligible nationwide are those who used the app before Sept. 30, 2021. For those eligible in Illinois, they must reside in Illinois and used the app in Illinois before Sept. 30, 2021.
Claims can be submitted on one's behalf or of a minor child.
