What happened

Sky Zone required its Illinois franchisees to use hardware and software that included fingerprint matching and identification technology. Employees scanned their fingerprints to clock in and out of work. The plaintiff alleges Sky Zone violated the Illinois Biometric Information Privacy Act (BIPA) in connection with these fingerprint scans. Sky Zone denies any wrongdoing or violation of law.

Do you qualify?

People who scanned their fingerprint at a Sky Zone Trampoline Park in Illinois between April 29, 2014 and April 23, 2024 as part of their employment. Group 1 consists of people already identified by their employer as having scanned a fingerprint; Group 2 consists of people who worked at Sky Zone locations in Elmhurst, Aurora, or Joliet, Illinois.

How to file

Group 1 members (already identified employees) do not need to file a claim form and will automatically receive payment. Group 2 members (Elmhurst, Aurora, or Joliet employees) must submit a Claim Form electronically or by mail postmarked by July 29, 2024, providing contact information and verifying they scanned their fingerprint at one of these three locations between April 29, 2014 and April 23, 2024. You can complete the form online using your Claimant ID or print and mail it.

Common questions

How much does the Sky Zone BIPA Settlement pay?
Estimated payout: The Net Settlement Fund (after deductions for litigation costs, administrator costs, service award to class representative, and up to one-third for attorney fees) will be distributed equally among Settlement Class Participants.. The total settlement fund is $1.1M. Actual amounts depend on how many valid claims are filed — most settlements divide a fixed fund pro rata, so a higher claim rate means a smaller individual check. An "up to" figure is a cap, not a guarantee.
What is the claim deadline for the Sky Zone BIPA Settlement?
This settlement is closed to new claims — the deadline was July 29, 2024. Once a claim deadline passes you generally forfeit your share, even if you qualified.
Do I need proof of purchase for the Sky Zone BIPA Settlement?
No. You can file without a receipt or proof of purchase. You attest that you qualify and submit basic details, though claims are still subject to review and submitting a false claim is a crime.
Is the Sky Zone BIPA Settlement notice real, or a scam?
Atticus Administration is the settlement administrator for this case. Claims are filed at skybipasettlement.com. Filing a class action claim is always free — no legitimate settlement charges you to claim, and no administrator will ask for payment, a gift card, or your full Social Security number by email or text. If a notice asks for any of those, it is not from the administrator. When in doubt, ignore the link you were sent and go to the official settlement website directly.
When will payments from the Sky Zone BIPA Settlement be sent?
Class action payouts typically take 12 to 24 months after the claim deadline, and longer if the settlement is appealed. The final approval hearing for this case is set for August 21, 2024; no payments can be issued before a settlement receives final approval.
