Why is this a data privacy concern?
Because revealing someone’s viewing activity without proper consent can be a direct violation of longstanding consumer privacy safeguards, these claims allege that The Athletic did not adequately warn subscribers about this data-sharing practice, nor did it provide meaningful opportunities to opt out.
Affected consumers are pursuing relief through mass arbitration, which allows large numbers of individuals to file their claims simultaneously.
What is happening with The Athletic and users’ viewing data?
The allegations state that The Athletic transmitted subscribers’ viewing information, including content watched and identifiers tied to devices, to third-party companies without adequate disclosure or permission.
What kind of data may have been shared?
Reports suggest that viewing activity, tracking identifiers, device-specific information, and other digital signatures capable of linking users to specific videos may have been shared with analytics or advertising companies.
Is this a class action?
No. These claims are being addressed through mass arbitration, which involves filing many individual arbitration demands rather than combining everyone into a single class action.
Who qualifies?
Subscribers who watched video content on The Athletic and whose data may have been disclosed without proper consent may be eligible to participate.
What documentation could help my claim?
To support your claim, having certain records on hand can strengthen your case and help our team verify your eligibility. These may include:
- Account information
- Subscription receipts
- Screenshots or usage history
- Emails or notices relating to privacy updates
- Device or app logs (if available)
Our attorneys can help determine what you need.
