As many as 311,000 Australians could be eligible for part of the payout. But the clock is ticking: claims close on December 31. See if you’re among them.

Related to a class action regarding privacy violations in the Cambridge Analytica scandal.

You can apply if you:

  • held a Facebook account between 2 November 2013 and 17 December 2015 (the eligibility period)

  • were in Australia for more than 30 days during that period, and

  • either installed the Life app or were Facebook friends with someone who did.

Try this link to see if the company has records of you or your friends logging into the Digital Life app. If there are, you should be able to use the “fast track” application.

    I have, altogether, made over $600 from FaceBook/meta class action privacy lawsuits in the past decade. In that time, I have not used FB (or even logged in), but I have also never deleted my account.

    The payouts have been getting smaller - used to be $100+. The last one I got (this year) was for ~$40 or so.
