Samsung Galaxy Privacy Violations Investigation

Claim Form Deadline: Ongoing

Estimated Payout: Varies

Proof required: Yes

What's This About?

Siri and Glimstad LLP, a law firm specializing in class actions, is investigating in order to find out whether Samsung Galaxy smartphones were collecting user information without asking for appropriate consent first. The kind of personally identifiable information collected could include biometric data like:

• Fingerprints
• Facial Data
• Iris Scanning

On specific Samsung Galaxy model smartphones there is a function called "Intelligent Scan", which according to Samsung.com, "On the Galaxy S9, Galaxy S9+, and Galaxy Note9, there is also the option of a new fusion biometric authentication method called Intelligent Scan. By combining face recognition and iris scanning, it utilizes each to bolster the other depending on the environment—so in low light or broad daylight, you can unlock easily and securely. Intelligent Scan keeps your phone from prying eyes, while making it convenient for you to access it when you want."
