Cerebral Inc. $500,000 Privacy Class Action Settlement

Cerebral Inc. account holders with California addresses who received a data incident notification letter around March 6, 2023, may be eligible to claim a cash payment and/or $300 credit from a class action settlement.

Cerebral Inc. agreed to pay $500,000 to settle a class action lawsuit alleging it disclosed users’ personal and health information to Facebook by using the Meta pixel on its website. The lawsuit claimed this may have compromised personal identifying information and/or protected health information, potentially violating California law.

Who are the class members?

Class members must be current or former Cerebral Inc. account holders with a California address who received a data incident notification letter from Cerebral on or about March 6, 2023, by email or mailed postcard.

How much can class members receive?

Eligible class members can claim one or both of the following awards:

• A $300 credit toward amounts billed as self-pay for services under a Cerebral Therapy & Medication plan that class members must redeem within 120 days of issuance
• A cash payment consisting of a pro rata share of the net settlement fund

The net settlement fund available for cash payments is approximately $267,000 after deductions for attorneys’ fees, litigation costs and service awards to the plaintiffs. The amount each class member receives will depend on the total number of valid claims submitted as the settlement administrator will divide the fund equally among all approved claimants who select the cash option.
