Multiple recent class‑action settlements affecting Arizonans span data breaches, alleged false advertising and antitrust claims, and they could result in cash payouts ranging from modest sums to thousands of dollars for people who file claims on time. Companies involved include Fidelity Investments, Krispy Kreme, Avis Car Rental, Apple, Google (through Android litigation), Comcast and Amazon, among others. Some settlements are already open for claims, with firm deadlines; others still await final court approval, in which case the process for filing and the exact deadline may not yet be available.
Stacks of U.S. currency representing potential class‑action settlement payouts Arizona consumers may be eligible to claim.
Customers affected by a 2024 data breach at Fidelity Investments are part of a proposed $2.5 million settlement and may be eligible for payments between about $50 and $5,000. The suit, filed in federal court in Massachusetts, alleges a “data security incident” occurred between Aug. 17 and Aug. 19, 2024, during which a third party gained unauthorized access to Fidelity’s network and obtained certain information. Fidelity has denied wrongdoing as part of the settlement terms. The company reported that it notified more than 77,000 customers about the breach, and court documents identify an additional roughly 86,000 customers whose account and routing numbers may have been compromised and who may therefore qualify. The deadline to file a claim is July 27; claimants must complete a form on the settlement site at fidelitydatasettlement.com for more information and to submit claims.
Another data‑breach settlement involves Krispy Kreme. The doughnut company’s 2024 incident is the subject of a proposed $1.6 million class‑action settlement for people whose personal information was released during that breach. The lawsuit alleges the leak included names, dates of birth, Social Security numbers and financial account access information; Krispy Kreme denies liability. Under the settlement, all class members who were notified can receive a $75 cash payment, while class members with documented losses may claim up to $3,500 for fraud, identity theft and other reimbursable losses. The deadline to submit claims is June 22. Eligible individuals can file a claim using the form at krispykremedatasettlement.com/Login or request a claim form by calling 877‑239‑1879.
Avis Car Rental customers impacted by a security incident in August 2024 are included in another settlement that can provide up to $5,000 to affected consumers for out‑of‑pocket costs. The incident, which the settlement website describes as occurring between Aug. 3 and Aug. 6, 2024, reportedly involved compromise of customer names, driver’s license information, credit card numbers and expiration dates, birthdates and phone numbers. Avis denies wrongdoing but has agreed as part of the settlement to make payments for documented losses. U.S. Avis customers whose private information was compromised can submit claims through the site at avisdatasecuritysettlement.com/submit-claim. The deadline to file is June 21.
A separate consumer case against Apple has led to a proposed $250 million settlement tied to allegations about artificial intelligence features in recent iPhone marketing. The suit contends Apple promoted AI enhancements, including improvements to Siri, when advertising the iPhone 16 and certain other models in 2024 but that the devices did not include the promised features upon release. As with the other settlements, Apple denies the allegations. People who purchased eligible iPhone 15 and iPhone 16 products in the United States between June 10, 2024, and March 29, 2025, may qualify; estimated individual payouts were reported in the range of $25 to $95. The settlement was awaiting court approval at a June hearing, and specifics about how to file a claim and the final deadline were not available while approval was pending. More details are posted at clarksonlawfirm.com/lp/apple-intelligence-false-advertising/.
Android users are also part of a pending class‑action resolution in Taylor v. Google LLC that addresses Google’s alleged collection of cellular‑level data that it purchased from mobile carriers. Under the proposed terms, people who used an Android device with internet access anytime after Nov. 12, 2017, may qualify for a distribution, with payments capped at $100 per class member. The settlement required court approval, which was pending at a June hearing, so filing procedures and final deadlines were not yet finalized. Information on the case and updates are available at federalcellularclassaction.com.
Comcast customers affected by an October 2023 data incident are included in a proposed $117.5 million settlement alleging inadequate data security that exposed millions of Xfinity customers’ personal information. Comcast has denied wrongdoing. The company’s notice to customers described the exposed information as including usernames, passwords, contact information, dates of birth and the last four digits of Social Security numbers. Under the settlement, eligible participants in the United States may receive payments of up to $10,000 for documented out‑of‑pocket expenses or for time lost addressing the breach. A final approval hearing was scheduled for July 7, and claimants may submit forms online or print a mail‑in form at comcastbreachsettlement.com. The deadline to file a claim is listed as Aug. 14, with payments to be issued after final approval.
A large settlement stemming from an antitrust action brought by the Federal Trade Commission resolved allegations that Amazon coerced customers into Prime subscriptions and made cancellation difficult. The company agreed to a $2.5 billion settlement that covers people who signed up for Prime between June 23, 2019, and June 23, 2025, and who attempted to cancel during what is described as a “challenged enrollment flow.” Individual awards will be calculated based on the total amount of Prime membership fees paid during the subscriber’s enrollment period. Eligible consumers can file claims through subscriptionmembershipsettlement.com; the deadline to apply is July 23. Each settlement listed here has specific eligibility criteria, documentation requirements and deadlines that claimants must meet, and claimants should use the official settlement websites cited above to submit forms and verify details.
