Welcome to the Aspel v. Incode Technologies, Inc. Website
IF YOU WERE IN ILLINOIS AND UPLOADED A SELFIE AND A PHOTO ID TO A MOBILE APP OR WEBSITE FOR IDENTITY VERIFCATION PERFORMED BY INCODE TECHNOLOGIES, INC. BETWEEN NOVEMBER 11, 2018 AND AUGUST 5, 2024, YOU MAY BE ABLE TO CLAIM A PAYMENT FROM A CLASS ACTION SETTLEMENT.
This is an official court notice. You are not being sued. This is not an ad for a lawyer.
A Settlement has been reached in a class action lawsuit between Incode Technologies, Inc. (“Defendant” or “Incode”) and individuals who, while in Illinois, uploaded a selfie and a photo ID to certain apps or websites for identify verification. Defendant provides identity verification software that is built into certain apps and websites used by consumers. The lawsuit claims that, in performing identity verification on individuals in Illinois, Defendant violated an Illinois law called the Biometric Information Privacy Act (“BIPA”) by collecting individuals’ biometric data without complying with the law’s requirements. Defendant denies that it violated any law or that the law applies to its conduct. The Court has not decided who is right or wrong.
If you received a notice of this Settlement in the mail or by e-mail, our records indicate that you are a member of the class of people covered by the Settlement. Those included in the Settlement may submit a claim form online or by mail to receive a settlement payment. Included in the Settlement are those who, while in Illinois, uploaded their selfie and photo ID to any application, software, or website operated by an Defendant customer, and subsequently to Defendant, between November 11, 2018 and August 5, 2024 without first having executed a written release or consent form naming Defendant.
If the Court approves the Settlement, members of the Settlement Classes who submit valid claims will receive an equal, or pro rata, share of the $4,000,000 fund that Defendant agreed to create for Class Members, after all notice and administration costs, incentive awards, and attorneys’ fees have been paid. Individual payments to Class Members who submit timely and valid claim forms are estimated to be between $65 and $240. These settlement payments could be more or less depending on the number of valid claims submitted.
