Oracle $115m Settlement: Millions Eligible in the US, Here’s How to Claim
Are You Eligible For Oracle’s Huge Payout?
Simply put, a lot of people could be eligible for Oracle’s legal settlement. According to the lawsuit, you’ll be eligible if you lived in the United States for a period after August 19, 2019, and your data was “acquired, captured, or otherwise collected by Oracle Advertising technologies or made available for use or sale by or through ID Graph, Data Marketplace, or any other Oracle Advertising product or service.”
Due to the almost omnipresent nature of Oracle in the tech world, if you’re a US resident with an online presence, and have made purchases electronically and in stores at any point after August 2018, there’s a good chance you’ve been impacted.
Unfortunately though, while some claimants will have been notified by email by the Katz-Lacabe v. Oracle Settlement Administrator and sent a confirmation code, lots of impacted users won’t actually know if their data was compromised.
So, if you think your data may have entered the Oracle Database systems after August 19, 2018, we’d recommend filling out a form anyway to find out if you’re eligible for a payout. Even if you’re unsure whether your data may be involved in the lawsuit, you’ve got nothing to lose by firing off a quick application.
