About This Settlement

Plaintiffs alleged Six Flags violated Illinois biometric privacy statutes by collecting fingerprint data without proper written consent procedures. Consumers argued biometric identifiers deserved heightened legal safeguards. Six Flags denied wrongdoing while agreeing to establish a substantial settlement fund. Limited participation levels reportedly resulted in unusually high individual payouts for some approved claimants.

Who's Eligible

Illinois residents whose fingerprints became collected through Six Flags season pass systems without legally required disclosures qualified for compensation. Eligible consumers used biometric entry systems during covered periods. Claimants generally verified eligibility through season pass or park membership records. Illinois residents formed the primary settlement class due to state biometric privacy law protections.
