The Athletic may have violated its users’ privacy rights by sharing personally identifiable information, including records of every video watched on The Athletic website with third parties without users’ written consent.

If you watched videos on The Athletic website using a web browser such as Chrome, Safari, Bing, or Firefox, among others you may be eligible to file a claim for up to $2,500 under federal video privacy laws.

The claim alleges that The Athletic shared subscribers’ video-watching history with Facebook without obtaining separate, written consent.

Labaton Keller Sucharow LLP and Bursor & Fisher P.A. represent clients in individual arbitration claims against The Athletic for violating the federal Video Privacy Protection Act, which allows for damages up to $2,500 per violation, as well as related state consumer protection and privacy laws.

We assert that The Athletic disclosed users’ personally identifiable information, including video viewing data, without explicit consent. This information can be used to identify individual subscribers and their full viewing history.

Is arbitration confidential?

Once I sign up, how does the process work?
Once you sign up, you’ll be asked to sign our attorney-client agreement. That allows us to investigate your private arbitration claim. Then, log in to your secure client portal. All information is strictly privileged and confidential and will only be used for your claim. Answer a few more questions, upload a few documents, and we’ll take it from there. We’ll analyze your claim and your losses, negotiate with the company, and, if necessary, pursue your claim in arbitration.
How do your fees work?
Our fees will be a percentage of the settlement or recovery we obtain for you. That amount will depend on the rules in the state you live in. We only receive a fee if you win, and you will never owe us any money.
