Anyone that qualifies may apply, as guardians or parents can sign their children up with the same qualifications (Illinois residency and Snapchat filters/lenses used). This includes the filter feature and/or lenses feature. If you live in Illinois currently (or lived in Illinois in the last 5 years) and used Snapchat and have used filters in the App, you may qualify. You can find the claim for kids here or below.

OPEN CLASS ACTIO SETTLEMENTS SOFTWARE
These technologies allegedly use facial recognition software that does not follow the BIPA Illinois law according to privacy protection requirements for children as well. The deadlines for a number of class action settlements are approaching in April. The "filtered" or "lens" photos were things like bunny ears on their head, moustaches on their faces, or face modifying filters like big-eyes. If your kids ever used Snapchat to take a filter or lens photo of themselves, the resulting payout can apply to them. This also includes your children's privacy and their biometric data. The BIPA covers "biometric" data, which includes the sort of information companies collect from users in their App with features such as facial recognition. The BIPA is a law enacted by the State of Illinois in 2008 which regulates the collection, use, and handling of biometric identifiers and information by private companies. Siri & Glimstad and their affiliated firm are actively filing claims against Snapchat forĬapturing face and eye biometrics in violation of the Illinois Biometric Privacy Laws (BIPA).
