Netflix has agreed to change its data retention practices so that it separates (known as “decoupling”
Entertainment Content Viewing History (that is, movies and TV shows that someone watched) from identification information for those subscribers who have not been a Netflix subscriber for at least 365 days, with some exceptions. Adding onto all of this, Netflix will pay $9,000,000 into a Settlement Fund to:
- Make donations to Court-approved not-for-profit organizations, institutions, or programs.
- Pay notice and settlement administration expenses.
- Pay attorneys’ fees of up to 25% or $2.25 million of the Settlement Fund, plus up to $25,000 in expenses.
- Pay a total incentive award of $30,000 to the Named Plaintiffs.
Proposals from potential donation recipients will be sought, and, after consideration, recommendations will be made to the Court. A list of the proposed donation recipients will be posted on the website.
As for people who want to donate towards this, will have to be completely verified by the court. Also, the ones who want to do so, will be posted on their website.
If you don't do anything, you will still be in this 'Settlement', and your rights will indeed be affected. If you choose that you don't want to include yourself or your family in this, you must exclude yourself by November 14th, 2012 (approximately). Also, if you do decide to exclude yourself, you will keep the rights to sue Netflix, as well as objecting if you remain in the Settlement by the said date.
The Court will hold a hearing on December 5, 2012 to consider any objections, whether to approve the Settlement, award attorneys’ fees, and incentive award. You can appear at the hearing, but you don’t have to. You can hire your own attorney, at your own expense, to appear or speak for you at the hearing.
