USC Arcadia Hospital website tracking settlement

Who may be eligible

USC Arcadia Hospital has agreed to a $200,000.00 settlement of claims that tracking code on its website passed visitors' information to third parties. People who completed a form on the hospital's website to sign up for email or event updates between February 1, 2022 and January 31, 2023 may be eligible for an equal pro rata share of what is left of the fund after the fees of $61,335.92, expenses of $15,992.25 and a $1,500.00 service award being requested, so no per-person figure is published and the amount falls as more people claim. The cash payment needs a claim form by December 7, 2026, and the online version opens with the LoginID and PIN from the mailed notice; filing on the official site is free. A year of CyEx Privacy Shield Pro monitoring is offered to every class member with no claim form, activated by March 15, 2027, and the court considers final approval on December 14, 2026.

The eligibility period on the official materials is February 1, 2022 – January 31, 2023. The notice states no state limit, so it is usually nationwide. Covered: USC Arcadia Hospital website email and event sign-up forms.
