If you are a CVS customer, you may be owed money from a lawsuit against the company.
According to the terms of a class-action settlement, people who accessed cvs.com, cvshealth.com or the CVS mobile app in the United States prior to July 27 may qualify for a payment from the settlement.
The lawsuit alleges that CVS violated laws by sharing user data from its website and application with advertising company Criteo.
Both CVS and Criteo denied any wrongdoing. In a statement, CVS spokesperson Amy Thibault said: "We stand by our privacy practices and believe they comply with applicable laws." Yet, the company agreed to the settlement to "avoid the expense and distraction of prolonged litigation," Thibault said.
Even though the settlement is still awaiting
final court approval, affected customers can already submit their claims.
