YOU MAY BE ENTITLED TO A CASH PAYMENT AND OTHER RELIEF FROM A CLASS ACTION SETTLEMENT IF YOU OPERATED A VEHICLE IN OR OUTSIDE ILLINOIS THAT WAS EQUIPPED WITH A SAMSARA DASH CAMERA BETWEEN DECEMBER 16, 2016 AND JUNE 12, 2025
THIS IS A COURT-AUTHORIZED SETTLEMENT WEBSITE.
About the Settlement and Available Benefits
A proposed settlement has been reached in a class action lawsuit against Defendant Samsara Inc. (“Samsara”) over claims that Samsara violated the Illinois Biometric Information Privacy Act (“BIPA”) by collecting and storing Settlement Class Members’ biometric data through the Camera ID feature of its dual-facing dashboard cameras without their consent. Samsara denies these allegations, any wrongdoing, or that it violated any laws. The Court has not decided who is right or wrong. Rather, to avoid the time, expense, and uncertainty of litigation, the Parties have agreed to settle the lawsuit.
Samsara will establish a $3,950,000 Settlement Fund that will be used to pay Claims that Class Members timely submit, attorneys’ fees and expenses, and the costs of notice and administration, and the cost of the privacy protection benefit. All cash payments will be adjusted pro rata based on the number of Class Members that participate in the Settlement.
Each Settlement Class Member will be eligible to initiate one (1) free year of Privacy Shield data protection. The enrollment code to activate this protection can be found on the Postcard Notice that you may have already received or can be obtained when you file your claim. Please note, this benefit will not be activated until after the Settlement becomes effective. Privacy Shield is being made available to promote privacy consistent with BIPA and not because of any concerns about the security or disclosure of data collected by Samsara Dash Cams.
Who Is in The Settlement Class?
You are a member of the Settlement Class if (a) you operated a vehicle between December 16, 2016 and June 12, 2025 within the State of Illinois that was equipped with a dual-facing Samsara Dash Cam; or (b) you are an Illinois resident not included in (a) who operated a vehicle between December 16, 2016 and June 12, 2025 outside Illinois that was equipped with a dual-facing Samsara Dash Cam.
Your Legal Rights and Options
| Option and Deadline | Your Legal Rights |
SUBMIT A CLAIM FORM | This is the only way to receive a Settlement Payment and, if you did not receive a Postcard Notice, the only way to receive the Privacy Protection Benefit. |
EXCLUDE YOURSELF | You will receive no payment, but you will retain any rights you currently have to sue Samsara or other Released Parties about the issues in this case. |
OBJECT | File an objection with the Court explaining why you don’t like the Settlement. You also must email a copy of your objection to Class Counsel and Samsara’s Counsel. (You may object and also submit a claim form.) |
ATTEND THE HEARING | If you file a written objection, you may also ask to speak in Court about the fairness of the Settlement. |
DO NOTHING | You will receive no payment under the Settlement and give up your rights to sue Samsara or other Released Parties about the issues in this case. |
These rights and options—and the deadlines to exercise them—are explained on this website.
The Court in charge of this case still has to decide whether to approve the Settlement. Settlement Payment and Privacy Shield will be provided only after any issues with the Settlement are approved and if the Court approves the Settlement. Please be patient.
