Subject: Notice of Class Action Settlement – John, et al. v. Delta Defense, LLC, et al.
NOTICE OF CLASS ACTION SETTLEMENT
John, et al. v. Delta Defense, LLC, et al., Case No. 23-cv-1253 (E.D. Wis.)
What is the Action about?
John, et al. v. Delta Defense, LLC, et al., Case No. 23-cv-1253 (E.D. Wis.) (the “Action”) was filed against Delta Defense, LLC (“Delta”) and United States Concealed Carry Association, Inc. (“USCCA,” together with Delta, the “Defendants”) alleging that Defendants violated the Video Privacy Protection Act, 18 U.S.C. § 2710, by, among other things, using third-party website technology (including the Meta Pixel) to collect and share with third parties the viewing information of subscribers without obtaining consent. The Defendants deny wrongdoing and liability, and both sides disagree on how much, if anything, the Class could have recovered after trial. The Court has not decided which side is right. But both sides have agreed to settle the Action and provide certain benefits to Settlement Class Members in order to avoid the costs, risks, and uncertainties of continued litigation.
Am I a Settlement Class Member?
You are a “Settlement Class Member” if you are a person in the United States who had an account (free or paid) with a Defendant and visited a page on a Defendant’s website housing a video behind a paywall or subscription wall between September 21, 2020 and June 2, 2025
Who are the Lawyers for the Plaintiffs and the Proposed Class?
The Court has ordered that the law firms Almeida Law Group LLC and Hansen Reynolds LLC will represent the interests of all Settlement Class Members. You will not be separately charged for these lawyers. If you want to be represented by your own lawyer, you may hire one at your own expense.
What relief does the Settlement provide?
The Settlement provides $1,450,000.00 to pay (1) claims of eligible Settlement Class Members; (2) Fees, Costs, and Expenses Award to Settlement Class Counsel; (3) Service Awards to the Plaintiffs; and (4) costs of Settlement administration and notice. If you are a Settlement Class Member, you are eligible to receive a pro rata share of the Settlement. The amount may change depending on the number of timely and valid claims submitted by Settlement Class Members. To receive a Settlement award, you must timely complete and submit a valid Claim Form. A Claim Form is available by clicking HERE. The deadline to submit a Claim Form is March 2, 2026. If you elect to complete a Claim Form, your Class Member Identification Number is: V8M-9UH-J5NF and your PIN is 7563.
What are my other options?
If you don’t want to be legally bound by the Settlement, you must exclude yourself by March 2, 2026, or you won’t be able to sue the Defendants or others involved with the conduct at issue in the Action ever again. If you stay in the Settlement, you may object to it by March 2, 2026. The detailed notice available at www.DeltaVPPASettlement.com describes the claims you will be releasing if you do not request exclusion and explains how to request exclusion or to object. If you do nothing, you will not receive a Settlement award under the Settlement; you will also give up your right to object to the Settlement, and you will not be able to be part of any other lawsuit about the legal claims in this case. The Court will hold a hearing on March 16, 2026 at 10:00 a.m. (Central Time) to consider whether to approve the Settlement and a request by the Settlement Class Counsel for up to $483,333.33 for a Fees, Costs, and Expenses Award, and a request by Plaintiffs for a Service Award of $2,000.00 each ($6,000.00 total) for their services as class representatives and their efforts in bringing the Action. You may ask to appear at the hearing, but you don’t have to.
