Duke MyChart Privacy Settlement 2026 — $3.74M Pixel Class Action
See Details
Proof Required?
Duke University Health System is facing a class action lawsuit alleging that its MyChart patient portal and MyDuke Health app secretly shared users' private health information with Meta (Facebook) through tracking technology known as a Meta Pixel. The pixel allegedly collected sensitive data — like appointment details, medical conditions, and doctor searches — and sent it to Meta without patients' knowledge or consent.
A $3.74 million settlement has been reached, and if you used the Duke MyChart portal or the MyDuke Health app between February 2019 and June 2022, you may be entitled to a cash payment. You don't need to have experienced any direct harm to file a claim — simply using the platform during that window may make you eligible.
This type of privacy settlement is becoming increasingly common as hospitals and healthcare providers are scrutinized for using third-party tracking tools on platforms that handle sensitive medical data. If you were a Duke Health patient during the covered period, it's worth taking a few minutes to check if you qualify and file your claim before the August 16, 2026 deadline.
Who Is Eligible?
You may be eligible to file a claim if you:
- You used the Duke MyChart patient portal or the MyDuke Health app at any point between February 2019 and June 2022
- You are a current or former Duke University Health System patient who logged into or interacted with the MyChart online portal during the covered period
- You are a U.S. resident (specific state restrictions, if any, are pending — check the official settlement website for details)
- You did not previously opt out of the settlement class or file a separate lawsuit against Duke related to this data practice
How Much Can You Get?
The total settlement fund is $3.74 million, which will be divided among all eligible class members who submit valid claims. The exact amount each person receives will depend on the total number of claims filed — the more people who submit claims, the smaller each individual payout may be. Specific per-person payout amounts have not yet been published, so check the official settlement site closer to the deadline for updated estimates.
While individual payments may be modest (as is typical with large-scale privacy settlements), filing a claim costs you nothing and takes only a few minutes. Every valid claim you file is money you'd otherwise leave on the table.
