KatzPrivacySettlement.com is the official court-authorized website for the $115 million Oracle data privacy class action settlement in Katz-Lacabe et al. v. Oracle America, Inc.
What is KatzPrivacySettlement.com for?
The official settlement website provides notices, court documents, deadlines, payment updates, and contact information for people affected by the Oracle privacy case.
The case is Katz-Lacabe et al. v. Oracle America, Inc., Case No. 3:22-cv-04792-RS, in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California.
Is KatzPrivacySettlement.com a legitimate website?
Yes, the website states that it is the official settlement site authorized by the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California.
The court appointed Angeion Group, LLC as the Settlement Administrator responsible for notices, claim processing, validation, and settlement payments.
People who want independent confirmation can also review the federal court's final approval order.
What was the Oracle privacy lawsuit about?
The plaintiffs alleged that Oracle tracked people's online and offline activities, combined personal information from different sources, and made resulting data available to third parties without proper consent.
The allegations included data connected with web browsing, purchases, location information, Oracle's ID Graph, Data Marketplace, and other Oracle Advertising products.
Oracle denied the allegations and wrongdoing, and the settlement does not represent an admission that Oracle broke the law.
Who was included in the settlement?
The settlement class generally covers natural persons residing in the United States whose personal information or data derived from it was collected by Oracle Advertising technologies or made available through covered Oracle Advertising services from August 19, 2018 through the date of final judgment.
Lawyers for the plaintiffs estimated during the case that the potential class could contain about 220 million people.
The court later reported that the settlement notice campaign had reached about 83.33% of its target audience of 220 million Americans by October 28, 2024.
How much money did Oracle agree to pay?
Oracle agreed to establish a $115 million settlement fund for valid claimant payments and approved settlement expenses.
The court awarded class counsel $28.75 million in attorneys' fees, representing 25% of the settlement fund, plus $211,350.52 in expenses.
The two class representatives were also approved to receive service awards of $10,000 each.
Can people still submit a claim?
No, the official claim deadline was October 17, 2024, so KatzPrivacySettlement.com is no longer an opportunity to submit a new claim.
The same October 17, 2024 deadline applied to requests for exclusion and objections to the proposed settlement.
A message telling someone that they can start a new claim for this particular settlement now would therefore conflict with the deadline published by the official settlement administrator.
When are settlement payments being sent?
The most important current update is that the appeals process was fully resolved on June 22, 2026, which triggered the settlement's Effective Date.
KatzPrivacySettlement.com says payments will begin on September 21, 2026 and should be completed by December 7, 2026.
This means people who submitted valid claims in 2024 may receive payments at different points during that distribution window rather than on one single day.
How much will each claimant receive?
The settlement FAQ explains that valid claimants receive equal pro rata shares of the net settlement fund after approved fees, expenses, administration costs, service awards, and applicable deductions.
The final amount therefore depends heavily on how many submitted claims are ultimately considered valid.
The official website does not currently publish one guaranteed dollar amount that every claimant should expect.
How can payments be delivered?
The settlement offered valid claimants payment choices including Zelle, Venmo, ACH transfer, a virtual prepaid card, or a paper check.
The administrator may conduct another distribution if some electronic payments fail or checks remain uncashed and enough money remains for another practical payment round.
Did the settlement require anything besides money?
The agreement also requires privacy-related changes concerning certain information captured through Oracle services for as long as the covered products and services continue to be offered.
Among the stated commitments are restrictions involving user-generated information in referring URLs and text entered into online forms outside Oracle's own websites.
Oracle also agreed to implement an audit program designed to review customer compliance with contractual consumer privacy requirements.
Where can the court records be checked?
The website's Important Documents page contains the settlement agreement, complaint, approval orders, attorneys' fee materials, dismissal order, Ninth Circuit appeal materials, and other major filings.
These records are useful because they allow visitors to verify the settlement terms instead of relying on social media posts, unsolicited emails, or unofficial summaries.
What matters most for claimants now?
For people who filed valid claims before October 17, 2024, the main issue is no longer eligibility filing but the payment distribution scheduled from September 21 through December 7, 2026.
Anyone with case-specific questions can use the administrator's published contact information on KatzPrivacySettlement.com rather than relying on an unrelated website or unexpected message.
