Disney $2.75M CCPA Privacy Settlement (Disney+, Hulu, ESPN+)
Not sure if this settlement applies to you?
Take our 60-second eligibility quiz to find every settlement you qualify for — including this one.
Who Is Eligible?
You may be eligible to file a claim if you:
- California residents who subscribed to Disney+, Hulu, or ESPN+ and submitted a data opt-out request that may not have been honored
- Users whose personal data may have been sold to third parties despite opting out
- Note: Because this is a government enforcement action (not a class action), there is currently no consumer claim process — individual payouts are not available at this time
- Keep an eye out for any follow-on class action lawsuits that could open up claims for affected subscribers
How Much Can You Get?
Unlike a typical class action settlement, this $2.75 million penalty is paid directly to the state of California as part of a government enforcement action. Individual Disney+, Hulu, or ESPN+ subscribers do not receive any portion of the fine and there is no claim form or payout process for consumers. That said, this enforcement action is significant — it's the largest CCPA penalty ever recorded and signals that California takes data privacy violations seriously. If a related consumer class action lawsuit is filed in the future, affected subscribers could potentially be eligible for compensation. Class Action Buddy will update users if and when a consumer claim becomes available.How to File Your Claim
Filing your claim is quick and easy:
- Understand that this is a government enforcement action — there is currently no claim form or consumer payout associated with this settlement
- If you are a California resident who used Disney+, Hulu, or ESPN+, document your subscription history in case a related class action is filed in the future
- Review your California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) rights at oag.ca.gov to understand how to opt out of data sales going forward

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I file a claim for the Disney $2.75M CCPA Privacy Settlement (Disney+, Hulu, ESPN+)?
File directly with the settlement administrator, using the official claim form linked on this page. Class Action Buddy does not support this settlement in the app, so the administrator’s own claim process is the route. Check whether the form asks for an ID or PIN from the notice you were sent before you start.
Can I file a claim and get money from the Disney CCPA settlement?
No — unfortunately, there is no consumer claim process for this settlement. This was a government enforcement action by the California Attorney General, so the $2.75 million penalty goes to the state, not to individual subscribers. There is no claim form or payout for Disney+, Hulu, or ESPN+ users at this time.
What did Disney do wrong under the CCPA?
California regulators found that Disney failed to honor users' requests to opt out of the sale of their personal data across its streaming platforms — Disney+, Hulu, and ESPN+. Under the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA), companies are required to respect opt-out requests. Disney's failure to do so resulted in the largest CCPA fine ever issued.
Will there be a class action lawsuit against Disney for this privacy violation?
There is no consumer class action associated with this specific enforcement action right now. However, government enforcement actions like this sometimes prompt follow-on class action lawsuits filed by private attorneys on behalf of affected consumers.
