Simmons BIPA Settlement

A Settlement has been reached in a class action lawsuit against Motorola Solutions, Inc. (“Motorola Solutions”) and Vigilant Solutions, LLC (“Vigilant”; together with Motorola Solutions, “Defendants”), which provided law enforcement customers with facial recognition technology known as FaceSearch and with access to a gallery of booking photos.

The lawsuit alleges that Defendants violated an Illinois law called the Illinois Biometric Information Privacy Act (“BIPA”) by allegedly collecting, storing, using, and disclosing individuals’ biometric data in connection with providing FaceSearch and access to the booking photo gallery, allegedly without complying with the law’s requirements. The proposed Settlement is not an admission of wrongdoing by Defendants. Defendants deny that they violated the law. The Court has not decided who is right or wrong.

The Settlement provides for payments to Settlement Class members who submit valid claims.
