New Crown Holdings BIPA Case
Paulson, individually and on behalf of all others similarly situated v. New Crown Holdings, LLC
Case No. 2021 CH 00000324
Circuit Court of Lake County, Illinois, Chancery Division
Welcome to the New Crown Holdings BIPA Case website.
If you received a Notice, you have been identified as someone who had their finger scan data and/or any other biometric identifier and/or information collected, captured, received, retained, transmitted or otherwise used by Defendant in violation of BIPA as alleged in the Complaint at any time from December 30, 2015 to September 7, 2023.
The Settlement would resolve a lawsuit brought on behalf of persons who allege that New Crown Holdings, LLC (“Defendant”) collected, captured, received, stored or otherwise obtained, retained, disseminated, or disclosed their finger scan data and/or any other biometric identifier and/or information without first providing them with legally-required written disclosures and obtaining written consent under the Illinois Biometric Information Privacy Act, 740 ILCS 14/1 et seq. (“BIPA”).
Defendant contests these claims and denies that it violated BIPA. However, Defendant agreed to settle the matter to avoid further costly, distracting, and time-consuming litigation without any admission or finding of wrongdoing.
