People Data Labs Colorado Phone Number Settlement: Fund and Eligibility

The class definition is based on PDL’s database records. Having a Colorado phone number alone does not necessarily mean someone is included.

• PDL’s records must show all of these: an inferred mobile number, a Colorado area code, an inferred current or past Colorado location, data sourced on or after September 2022, and at least one disclosure between September 2022 and March 3, 2026.
• The class does not include the Judge and the Judge’s family and staff, PDL and its related people and companies, or people who validly opt out.

A claim is required to receive a payment. The notice does not say what supporting documents are required for a mailed claim, or whether online claims require the same documents.

• Submit online by September 29, 2026, or use a printable form and mail it to the Settlement Administrator.
• A mailed claim must be completed, signed, include supporting documentation, and be postmarked by September 29, 2026.

There is no stated individual payment amount. What each successful claimant receives depends on how many valid, timely claims are filed.

• The settlement fund is $6,362,167.00.
• Notice and administration costs, court-approved attorneys’ fees and litigation costs, and any service award are taken from that fund first.
• The remaining money is split equally among people with valid, timely claims.

Doing nothing is different from opting out. It leaves you in the settlement, but it does not submit a claim for money.

• You remain part of the settlement unless you opt out.
• If you do nothing, you will not receive a payment.
• By staying in the class, you give up the covered rights described in the settlement’s release.

Opting out means leaving the settlement. You will receive no settlement payment, but you keep any rights you may have to bring your own case about the issues involved.

• Send, mail, or email a request by September 29, 2026.
• Include the case name and number, your full name, mailing address, telephone number, email address, personal signature, and the words “Request for Exclusion” or a similar clear statement.
• You may opt out only for yourself, not for someone else.

An objection asks the Court not to approve all or part of the proposed settlement. It is not a way to ask the Court to create a different settlement.

• You must stay in the settlement to object; a person who opts out cannot object.
• File or mail a written objection to the Court and also send a copy to the Settlement Administrator by September 29, 2026.
• The objection must include identifying and contact information, proof of class membership including an ownership attestation for the relevant phone number, your reasons, and your signature. Further requirements apply if you have a lawyer, have objected in other cases, or plan to present witnesses or documents at the hearing.

The hearing is where the Court will decide whether to approve the settlement and consider objections, attorneys’ fees, and the proposed service award. A scheduled hearing is not final approval.

• The hearing is scheduled for November 17, 2026, at 10:00 a.m. Pacific Time.
• It is scheduled to take place in Courtroom 4, 17th Floor, 450 Golden Gate Avenue, San Francisco, California, and the notice says remote attendance by Zoom is also available.
• You do not have to attend. The date may change, and payments cannot be distributed unless the Court approves the settlement and any appeals are resolved.
