Proof Required?
Disney has agreed to pay $2.75 million — the largest fine ever issued under California's Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) — after California regulators found that Disney ignored users' requests to opt out of the sale of their personal data. The enforcement action covers Disney's streaming platforms: Disney+, Hulu, and ESPN+. This means that if you used any of these services and asked Disney not to sell your data, your request may have been ignored. Important note: This is a government enforcement action brought by the California Attorney General's office, not a traditional class action lawsuit. That means there is no claim form for consumers to fill out and no individual payouts to subscribers. The $2.75 million penalty goes to the state of California, not to affected users. While there's nothing to file here right now, it's worth knowing your rights under the CCPA and staying alert for any related consumer class action lawsuits that may follow. Class Action Buddy can help you keep track of settlements you may actually qualify for — including any future actions related to this matter.

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

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.
