Consumers who were not AutoZone Rewards members and placed an order on AutoZone.com while living in Pennsylvania between Jan. 1, 2022, and Jan. 1, 2024, may qualify to claim $20 from a class action settlement.

AutoZone Inc. and AutoZone.com Inc. agreed to pay $1,233,820 to resolve a class action lawsuit alleging violations of the Pennsylvania Wiretapping and Electronic Surveillance Control Act. The lawsuit claimed AutoZone used session replay technology on its website to track users’ mouse movements and clicks without their consent.
