Zoom Privacy Class Action

This Class Action is brought on behalf of all persons residing in Canada. If you did not reside in Canada at the time you used the Zoom Meetings application, this proposed Settlement does not apply to you.

If as of June 30, 2020, you had a registered Zoom Meetings user account or a paid Zoom Meetings subscription, and between April 1, 2018 and June 30, 2020 you registered, used, opened or downloaded the Zoom Meetings application, this proposed Settlement may affect your rights.

Zoom Video Communications, Inc. (“Zoom”) has agreed to pay the total amount of CAD$2 million in settlement of the Class Action (the “Settlement”), which alleges that Zoom (i) shared certain information with third parties and (ii) advertised Zoom Meetings as being encrypted “end-to-end” at a time when the plaintiff contends that it was not. The relevant time period for the Settlement is April 1, 2018 – June 30, 2020, as described in the Amended Notice of Civil Claim and the Settlement Agreement (the “Settled Claims”). The Settlement is a compromise of disputed claims. Zoom denies any wrongdoing and is not admitting anything.
The Settlement is intended to resolve all claims related to the Settled Claims by providing compensation to class members and releasing Zoom from future lawsuits that relate to the Settled Claims.
The settlement agreement will be submitted to the British Columbia Supreme Court (“Court”) for approval. The Court has scheduled a hearing on June 12, 2023 to consider whether to approve the Settlement.

Benefits available from the Settlement:

Subscriber Claim: If you are a Class Member who paid money to Zoom for a Zoom Meetings subscription between April 1, 2018 and June 30, 2020, you are eligible to file a claim for the greater of $15 or 15% of the money you paid to Zoom for the core subscription (i.e., not including other Zoom products or add-on features) during that time. For example, if you spent $75 on a Zoom Meetings App subscription during the relevant time period, 15% of $75 is $11.25. Because $11.25 is less than $15, your claim will be treated as a claim for $15.
Registered User Claim: If you are a Class Member who is not eligible for a Subscriber Claim and you used, opened or downloaded the Zoom Meetings Application between April 1, 2018 and June 30, 2020, you are eligible to file a claim for $15.

If the Settlement is approved, you will need to submit a claim form to receive payment of money from the Settlement. If the total amount claimed exceeds the amount available for claims, then each payment will be reduced on a pro rata basis. A further notice will be distributed that describes how you may submit a claim to participate in the Settlement.
