GoodRx and Criteo Data Privacy Settlement
By the Class Action Buddy Editorial Team · Last reviewed October 14, 2026
GoodRx and Criteo are paying $32,000,000 to settle a privacy case over what GoodRx did with data about the people using its service. The allegation is that GoodRx built third-party advertising trackers into its own website and app — pixels, software development kits, cookies — and that those trackers passed information about how people used the service to Criteo, Meta and Google. The Federal Trade Commission brought its own action over the same conduct in February 2023. GoodRx and Criteo deny breaking any law.
The class is about as wide as a class gets: every person in the United States who used any website, app or service made available by or through GoodRx at any time before April 20, 2024. Not customers, not subscribers. Users. That takes in GoodRx Gold, HeyDoctor and GoodRx Care alongside the main site, and a single visit before the cutoff is a use. The notice puts no number on how many people that is, and given how long GoodRx has been running, the honest answer is that it is very large.
Two things make this one easy to file. There is nothing to upload, and you do not need a notice or a claim ID. You confirm that you were in the United States and used GoodRx before the cutoff date, and the administrator checks that against its own records. A class drawn this broadly was never going to have everyone's contact details on file, so there is a claim route built for the people nobody ever wrote to.
Class Action Buddy files this one for you. The app fills the form in from your profile, you sign it on screen, and we print it and post it to the administrator. You choose how you want to be paid: PayPal, Venmo, Zelle, a virtual prepaid card or a check.
The legal deadline is December 29, 2026. This claim goes by mail, so the app stops accepting it on December 22 to leave time for printing and postage.

Who Is Eligible?
You may be eligible to file a claim if you:
- Anyone in the United States who used GoodRx before April 20, 2024. The class the court preliminarily approved on September 8, 2026 reads: all natural persons in the United States who used any website, app or service made available by or through GoodRx at any time prior to April 20, 2024.
- It is not just the price-checking site. The notice names GoodRx’s website and app, GoodRx Gold, HeyDoctor and GoodRx Care. You did not have to pay GoodRx anything, and one visit before the cutoff is a use.
- You do not need a notice. A class drawn this broadly was never going to have everyone’s contact details, so the administrator runs a claim route specifically for people it never reached.
- Nothing to upload. The claim is an attestation that you were in the United States and used GoodRx before April 20, 2024. The administrator validates it against its own records rather than asking you for documents.
- One claim each. You may file a single claim form however many notices reach you, and it buys one equal share.
- Not everyone who fits the wording qualifies. The notice carries its own list of exclusions at Question 8 — read it against your own situation before you assume either way.
How Much Can You Get?
GoodRx and Criteo are paying $32,000,000. That is the whole settlement rather than a per-person entitlement, and it is the only figure the court papers put a number on.
The fund pays the costs of the case first. Notice and administration costs, taxes, the costs of holding the money, class counsel’s fees and expenses, and service awards for the named plaintiffs all come out of the $32 million. What is left is the Net Settlement Fund.
Approved claims then split that in equal shares. Not a sliding scale, and not weighted by how much you used GoodRx — everyone whose claim is approved receives the same amount. Which means the figure moves with turnout: the more valid claims arrive, the smaller each share.
Our estimate is $10 to $40, and it is an estimate. Around $20 million should survive the deductions, which lands near $40 a claim if about 500,000 people file and nearer $10 if about two million do. Fewer claims than that would mean larger shares, so treat $40 as the middle of a plausible range and not a ceiling.
The administrator will not estimate it at all. Question 12 of the notice says it "is not known precisely how much each Authorized Claimant will receive". Any figure, ours included, is the fund divided by a guess at the claim count.
Payment is a long way off. Final approval is set for February 11, 2027, and nothing is distributed before then. The notice warns that appeals "can sometimes take a year or more" to resolve.
How to File Your Claim
File with the administrator:
- File it in Class Action Buddy. The app fills the claim form in from your profile, you sign it on screen, and we print it and post it to the administrator for you. There is nothing to scan and nothing to upload.
- Choose how you want to be paid while you file: PayPal, Venmo, Zelle, a virtual prepaid card, or a paper check. A check needs nothing beyond your mailing address.
- You do not need a notice or a claim ID. If nothing ever reached you by mail or email, that says nothing about whether you qualify — a class this broad was never going to have everyone’s contact details.
- The app stops taking this claim on December 22, 2026. That is a week before the legal deadline, and the gap is the printing and postage we do on your behalf.
- The legal deadline is December 29, 2026 — 11:59 p.m. Eastern for an online submission, or postmarked by that date for a mailed form. The same date ends your window to opt out or object. After December 22 you can still file directly at the administrator’s own claim form.
- Watch for a deficiency letter. If the administrator finds something missing, it contacts you and you get 20 days from that written notice to put it right. Miss that window and the claim can be rejected.
- The case is consolidated privacy litigation against GoodRx Holdings, Inc. and Criteo Corp. in the United States District Court for the Northern District of California, Oakland Division (lead case No. 4:23-cv-00501-AMO). The administrator is A.B. Data, Ltd. on 1-877-888-9232. Class counsel are Lowey Dannenberg, P.C. and Bursor & Fisher, P.A.

What is the deadline to file a claim for the GoodRx and Criteo Data Privacy Settlement?
The current deadline to file a claim is Dec 29, 2026. Note: claims sent by mail must be postmarked by this date, and Class Action Buddy ships claim forms with a 7-day mailing buffer to ensure on-time delivery.
Do I need proof of purchase for the GoodRx and Criteo Data Privacy Settlement?
No proof of purchase is required — you can typically file based on a sworn statement, without receipts, photos, or product packaging. You also do not need a Claimant ID or PIN to file.
How do I file a claim for the GoodRx and Criteo Data Privacy Settlement?
You have two options: (1) Use the free Class Action Buddy mobile app — set up your profile once and the app fills in the official PDF claim form and captures your signature, then your signed claim is printed and posted to the administrator. (2) File directly with the settlement administrator using the official claim form linked on this page.
How much will I actually get?
Our estimate is $10 to $40, and it is only an estimate. About $20 million of the $32 million fund should survive legal fees, service awards and the cost of running the notice program, and approved claims divide that in equal shares. That works out near $40 if around 500,000 people file and nearer $10 if around two million do. The administrator itself declines to put a number on it — Question 12 of the notice says the amount is not known precisely.
When does Class Action Buddy stop taking this claim?
December 22, 2026. The legal deadline is December 29, but this claim is filed on paper and we print and post it for you, so the app closes it a week early to leave time for mail. If you miss that, you can still file directly at the administrator’s site up to December 29.
How do I get paid?
You pick while you file: PayPal, Venmo, Zelle, a virtual prepaid card, or a paper check. A check needs nothing beyond the mailing address already on your profile. Nothing is paid until the court grants final approval, set for February 11, 2027.
I never got an email or letter about this. Can I still file?
Yes. There is no notice requirement and no claim ID to enter. A class covering everyone who used GoodRx before April 20, 2024 was never going to have complete contact details, so not being contacted says nothing about whether you qualify.
Do I need receipts, statements or screenshots?
No. There is nothing to upload. You confirm that you were in the United States and used a GoodRx website, app or service before April 20, 2024, and the administrator checks the claim against its own records. It is still a statement you are standing behind, so file only if it is true of you.
I used GoodRx once, years ago, and never paid for anything. Am I in?
The class wording is "used any website, app, or service made available by or through GoodRx at any time prior to April 20, 2024". It does not require a purchase, a subscription or repeat use, and it covers GoodRx Gold, HeyDoctor and GoodRx Care as well as the main site.
Does this also settle what Meta and Google did with the data?
No, and this is the easiest thing to get wrong here. The settlement is with GoodRx and Criteo only. The notice calls Meta and Google the "Remaining Defendants" and says plaintiffs continue to pursue their claims against them. Filing here releases GoodRx and Criteo, not those two.
What was GoodRx accused of doing?
That it built third-party advertising trackers — pixels, software development kits, cookies and APIs — into its own site and app, and that these passed information about how people used the service to Criteo, Meta and Google. The claims run under state privacy and consumer protection laws. The Federal Trade Commission brought its own action over the same conduct in February 2023. GoodRx and Criteo deny breaking any law.
