Dental Intelligence LocalMed appointment privacy settlement

Who may be eligible

Dental Intelligence settled a case claiming that its LocalMed booking portal passed details of people's dental appointments to Google and other third parties without permission. The class is people in the United States who used the LocalMed portal to schedule, change or reschedule a dental appointment between March 2022 and June 2025; if that includes you, you may be eligible for a pro rata cash payment, which the official site does not put a figure on because each share depends on the number of valid claims. Claims close on January 25, 2027, exclusion and objection requests on December 28, 2026, and the final approval hearing is March 25, 2027. Filing on the official site is free, and the online form asks for the Login ID and PIN printed on your notice.

The eligibility period on the official materials is March 1, 2022 – June 30, 2025. The notice states no state limit, so it is usually nationwide. Covered: LocalMed dental appointment portal.

Only the official administrator or agency decides who is eligible. Read the official notice before filing, and file only if you believe you meet its criteria.

How much it may pay

Share split among valid claims. Every figure here is an estimate from public materials, not a guarantee: many settlements pay pro rata or only after a claims review, so final amounts commonly land well below the advertised maximum.

The official site describes the benefit as a pro rata cash payment and does not print a per-person figure, because each share depends on how many valid claims are filed. Nothing has to be documented: the online form asks only for the Login ID and PIN printed at the top of the notice, and the administrator will supply them to a class member who cannot find the notice. A paper form can be downloaded and posted instead. Any amount is an estimate until the court approves the settlement.

What the deadline is

The claim deadline is January 25, 2027.

The deadline to opt out or object is December 28, 2026.

The court's fairness hearing is set for March 25, 2027; payments do not go out until the settlement is finally approved and any appeals are resolved.

The settlement site says cash payments follow court approval and the settlement becoming final, and that this can take time. The final approval hearing is set for March 25, 2027.

What proof is needed

Notice ID / PIN from the official letter or email may be required.

The official claim form states exactly what it accepts; gather it before you start.
