Frequently Asked Questions

  1. Why was the Notice issued?

    A Court authorized the Notice because you have a right to know about a proposed Settlement of this class action lawsuit and about all of your options, before the Court decides whether to give final approval to the Settlement. The Notice explains the lawsuit, the Settlement, and your legal rights.

    The Honorable Lisa A. Cairo, of the Supreme Court of the State of New York, County of Nassau, is overseeing this case. The case is called Ohebshalom v. Dapper Labs, Inc., Index No. 615987/2025. The people who sued are called the Plaintiffs. The Defendant is Dapper Labs, Inc.

  2. What is a class action?

    In a class action, one or more people called the class representatives (in this case, Daniel Ohebshalom, Matthew Kimoto, Thomas Fan, and Clinton Brown) sue on behalf of a group or a “class” of people who have similar claims. In a class action, the court resolves the issues for all class members, except for those who exclude themselves from the Class.

  3. What is this lawsuit about?

    This lawsuit claims that Defendant violated the Video Privacy Protection Act, 18 U.S.C. § 2710, et seq. (“VPPA”) by disclosing its online subscribers’ personally identifiable information (“PII”) to third-parties without consent in violation of the Video Privacy Protection Act (the “VPPA”). Defendant denies that it violated any law but has agreed to the settlement to avoid the uncertainties and expenses associated with continuing the case.

  4. Why is there a settlement?

    The Court has not decided whether the Plaintiffs or the Defendant should win this case. Instead, both sides agreed to a Settlement. That way, they avoid the uncertainties and expenses associated with ongoing litigation, and Class Members will get compensation sooner rather than, if at all, after the completion of a trial.

  6. What does this Settlement provide?

    Monetary Relief: Defendant has created a Gross Settlement Amount totaling $5,000,000.00. All payments to Settlement Class Members, the cost to administer the Settlement, the cost to inform people about the Settlement, attorneys’ fees, and an award to the Class Representative will also come out of this amount (see FAQ 13).

    Prospective Changes: In addition to this monetary relief, the Settlement also requires Defendant to suspend operation of the Meta Pixel, Google Pixel, the Microsoft Bing Pixel, the SnapChat Pixel, the X Pixel, the Reddit Pixel, and the TikTok Pixel on any pages on its websites where it would capture the title of a video purchased or viewed, unless and until the VPPA is amended, repealed, or otherwise invalidated by judicial decision as applied to the use of web site pixel technology or video games generally, unless Defendant is otherwise in compliance with that law.

    A detailed description of the settlement benefits can be found in the Settlement Agreement on the Documents page.

  10. What am I giving up if I stay in the class?

    If the Settlement becomes final, you will give up your right to sue Defendant for the claims this Settlement resolve. The Settlement Agreement describes the specific claims you are giving up against the Defendant. You will be “releasing” the Defendant and certain of its affiliates described in Section 1.25 of the Settlement Agreement. Unless you exclude yourself (see FAQ 14), you are “releasing” the claims, regardless of whether you submit a claim or not. The Settlement Agreement is available on the Documents page.

    The Settlement Agreement describes the released claims with specific descriptions (see Sections 1.24-1.26 and 3.1-3.2 of the Settlement Agreement), so read it carefully. If you have any questions you can talk to the lawyers listed in FAQ 12 for free or you can, of course, talk to your own lawyer if you have questions about what this means.

  11. What happens if I do nothing at all?

  12. Do I have a lawyer in the case?

    The Court has appointed Philip L. Fraietta and Stefan Bogdanovich of Bursor & Fisher, P.A. to be the attorneys representing the Settlement Class. They are called “Class Counsel.” They believe, after conducting an extensive investigation, that the Settlement Agreement is fair, reasonable, and in the best interests of the Settlement Class. You will not be charged for these lawyers. If you want to be represented by your own lawyer in this case, you may hire one at your expense.

  13. How will the lawyers be paid?

    Class Counsel’s attorneys’ fees, costs, and expenses will be paid from the Gross Settlement Amount in an amount determined and awarded by the Court. Class Counsel will seek no more than one-third of the $5 million Gross Settlement Amount minus the Settlement Administration Expenses, but the Court may award less than this amount.

    As approved by the Court, the Class Representatives will be paid incentive awards from the Gross Settlement Amount for helping to bring and settle the case. The Class Representatives will seek no more than $5,000.00 each as incentive awards, but the Court may award less than this amount.

  18. What’s the difference between objecting and excluding myself from the Settlement?

    Objecting simply means telling the Court that you don’t like something about the Settlement. You can object only if you stay in the Class. Excluding yourself from the Class is telling the Court that you don’t want to be part of the Class. If you exclude yourself, you have no basis to object because the case no longer affects you.

  19. When and where will the Court decide whether to approve the Settlement?

    The Court will hold the Final Approval Hearing on April 15, 2026, in 4th Floor West, at the Supreme Court of the State of New York, County of Nassau, 100 Supreme Court Drive, Mineola, NY, 11501. The purpose of the hearing will be for the Court to determine whether to approve the Settlement as fair, reasonable, adequate, and in the best interests of the Class; to consider the Class Counsel’s request for attorneys’ fees and expenses; and to consider the request for an incentive award to the Class Representative. At that hearing, the Court will be available to hear any objections and arguments concerning the fairness of the Settlement.

    The hearing may be postponed to a different date or time without notice, so it is a good idea to check this website or call Class Counsel at 1-646-837-7150. If, however, you timely objected to the Settlement and advised the Court that you intend to appear and speak at the Final Approval Hearing, you will receive notice of any change in the date of such Final Approval Hearing.

  20. Do I have to come to the hearing?

    No. Class Counsel will answer any questions the Court may have. But, you are welcome to come at your own expense. If you send an objection or comment, you don’t have to come to Court to talk about it. As long as you filed and mailed your written objection on time, the Court will consider it. You may also pay another lawyer to attend, but it’s not required.

  21. May I speak at the hearing?
