The Daily Wire
Daily Wire Video Privacy Settlement
The Daily Wire video privacy settlement offered qualifying U.S. account holders and digital newsletter subscribers up to $15 per approved claim, subject to proportional reduction. It covered eligible video viewing from March 11, 2022 through November 7, 2023, and the claim deadline was September 8, 2025. This is historical settlement information, not an open claim opportunity.
Key facts
The deadline to claim a payment in the Daily Wire video privacy settlement was September 8, 2025. This page explains the original settlement terms for people looking up the case, rather than offering a new claim opportunity.
The lawsuit alleged that The Daily Wire, LLC shared subscribers’ personally identifiable video-viewing information with Facebook without consent, violating the Video Privacy Protection Act. The Daily Wire denied violating the law and agreed to settle to avoid further litigation costs. The agreement was not an admission of wrongdoing.
The notice covered qualifying people in the United States who were Daily Wire website log-in account holders or digital newsletter subscribers and accessed a video while the relevant tracking pixel was operating between March 11, 2022 and November 7, 2023. The settlement required a timely, valid claim for a cash benefit.
The agreement capped the company’s total cash commitment at $2 million, including benefits, administration, legal fees and costs, and service awards. Approved claims could receive up to $15 each. Payments could be reduced proportionally if approved claims exceeded the money available after deductions, so $15 was a ceiling, not a guaranteed or confirmed final payment.
The original form requested contact information, a payment selection, and a signed eligibility certification. It asked notice recipients to include their Notice ID to help validate the claim. No receipts or viewing-history attachments were requested on the paper form, although the administrator could seek further verification.
The exclusion and objection deadlines were September 1, 2025. The notice scheduled a final approval hearing for October 22, 2025. That scheduled date alone does not confirm when an approval order was entered or whether payments were sent. A final payment amount and distribution date are not confirmed on this page.
The original settlement website was unavailable when checked on October 27, 2026. The administrator-hosted notice, agreement, and historical claim form remain available in the source links. These documents explain the published terms and do not establish an active filing process or the status of an individual payment.
Who may qualify
The notice covered people in the United States who were Daily Wire website log-in account holders or digital newsletter subscribers and accessed video through a covered website while the relevant pixel was operational from March 11, 2022 through November 7, 2023. Presiding judges and their families, the defendant and related entities and personnel, valid opt-outs, and the representatives or successors of excluded people were excluded as specified in the notice. A timely valid claim was required. The September 8, 2025 claim deadline has passed.
What proof do you need?
Did this settlement need proof of purchase?
For this settlement, you did not need proof of purchase. The historical paper form requested contact details, a payment selection, and a signed eligibility certification. Notice recipients were asked to provide their Notice ID to assist validation. No receipts or viewing-history attachments were requested. Online filing also used a notice confirmation code. The administrator could request further verification. The claim deadline has passed. The claim window for this settlement has closed.
Where do these requirements come from?
From the official settlement notice - the document that sets out who qualifies and what they have to provide. Claim summarizes it; Claim does not set it. Where the notice and this page disagree, the notice is the one that counts.
How can I check a settlement email or text?
Who is the administrator?
Angeion Group is the settlement administrator: the company a court appoints to run the claims process, send notices and make payments. It is not the company being sued, and it is not Claim.
Is the sender's name enough to trust the message?
No. A sender name, a display name, a reply-to address and even a case number can all be copied. Check the case name and number in the message against the ones on this page, and reach the court-authorized settlement website yourself rather than through a link or button in the message.
What warning signs should I look for?
Any request for a fee, a payment or a wire to release settlement money. Any request for full banking login details. Pressure to act straight away. A web address that does not match the one in the official notice. Genuine notices identify the case by name and number and explain how payment is made.
The claim window for this settlement has closed. You can still see which settlements are accepting claims now.
