UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT FOR 

THE NORTHERN DISTRICT OF ILLINOIS

If you and/or your minor child used the TikTok and/or 

Musical.ly application, You May Be Entitled to a 

Payment from a Class Action Settlement. 

If you live in Illinois and used the TikTok app in Illinois to create videos, you 

may be entitled to up to 6x the Payment. 

A federal court authorized this Notice. You are not being sued. This is not a solicitation from a lawyer.

• Plaintiffs filed a class action complaint alleging that TikTok, Inc. f/k/a Musical.ly, Inc; 

ByteDance, Inc.; Musical.ly n/k/a TikTok, Ltd. and Beijing ByteDance Technology Co. Ltd.

(collectively, the “Defendants”), violated federal and state law by collecting and using, without 

sufficient notice and consent, Plaintiffs’ personal data in connection with their use of the TikTok -

Make Your Day video-sharing application (and/or its predecessor app Musical.ly) distributed in 

the U.S. (the “App.”).

• Defendants deny these allegations and other material allegations in the operative complaint.

• The Settlement1 that has been reached in this case affects the following persons (collectively the 

“Settlement Class”):

Nationwide Class: All persons who reside in the United States who used the App prior 

to DATE of issuance of the Preliminary Approval Order.

Illinois Subclass: All persons who reside in the State of Illinois and used the App in the 

State of Illinois to create videos prior to DATE of issuance of the Preliminary Approval 

Order.

• The Settlement, if approved, would provide $92,000,000 to pay the members of the Settlement Class 

who file valid claims, as well as to pay Plaintiffs’ attorneys’ fees, costs, a service award for the 

named plaintiffs, and the administrative costs of the settlement. It would also provide injunctive 

relief to protect App users’ information. The Settlement avoids the further cost and risk associated 

with continuing the lawsuits; it pays money to those persons whose rights Plaintiffs contend were 

violated; and it releases Defendants from further liability. 

• You may submit a claim on your own behalf or on behalf of your minor child.

• Your legal rights are affected whether you act or don't act. Read this notice carefully.

BASIC INFORMATION

A court authorized this Notice because you have a right to know about a proposed Settlement of the 

class action lawsuit known as In Re: TikTok, Inc., Consumer Privacy Litigation, MDL No. 2948, 20-

cv-4699 (N.D. Ill.) (the “Action”) and about all of your options before the Court decides whether to

give Final Approval to the Settlement. This Notice explains the lawsuit, the Settlement, and your legal 

rights.

The United States District Court for the Northern District of Illinois is overseeing this case. The persons

who sued are called the “Plaintiffs.” TikTok, Inc. f/k/a Musical.ly, Inc; ByteDance, Inc.; Musical.ly n/k/a 

TikTok, Ltd. and Beijing ByteDance Technology Co. Ltd. are called the “Defendants.”

The lawsuit alleges that Defendants collected and used, without sufficient notice and consent, Plaintiffs’ 

personal data in connection with Plaintiffs’ use of the App. 

Defendants deny every allegation of wrongdoing, liability, and damages that were or could have been 

asserted in the litigation and that the claims in the litigation would be appropriate for class treatment if 

the litigation were to proceed through trial.

The Plaintiffs’ Complaint, Settlement Agreement, and other case-related documents are posted on the 

Settlement Website, www.tiktokdataprivacysettlement.com. The Settlement resolves the lawsuit. The

Court has not decided who is right.

In a class action, the person called the “Class Representative” (in this case, Plaintiffs) sues on behalf of

herself and other people with similar claims. 

All the people who have claims similar to the Plaintiffs’ are Settlement Class Members, except for those 

who exclude themselves from the class.

The Court has not found in favor of either Plaintiffs or Defendants. Instead, both sides have agreed to 

a settlement. By agreeing to the Settlement, the parties avoid the costs and uncertainty of a trial, and 

if the Settlement is approved by the Court, Settlement Class Claimants will receive the benefits 

described in this Notice. Defendants deny all legal claims in this case. Plaintiffs and their lawyers think 

the proposed Settlement is best for everyone who is affected.

WHO IS PART OF THE SETTLEMENT

The Settlement Class includes the following persons:

Nationwide Class: All persons who reside in the United States who used the App prior 

to DATE of issuance of the Preliminary Approval Order.

Illinois Subclass: All persons who reside in the State of Illinois and used the App in the 

State of Illinois to create videos prior to DATE of issuance of the Preliminary Approval 

Order.

If you do not reside in the United States and did not use the App prior to DATE of issuance of the 

Preliminary Approval Order, you are not a part of the Settlement Class and may not submit a claim to 

receive benefits under the Settlement. Also excluded from the Settlement Class are: (i) TikTok, its 

parent, subsidiaries, successors, affiliates, officers, and directors; (ii) the judge(s) to whom the Civil 

Actions are assigned and any member of the judge’s or judges’ immediate family; (iii) persons who 

have settled with and released TikTok from individual claims substantially similar to those alleged in 

the Civil Actions; (iv) persons who submit a valid and timely Request for Exclusion; and (v) all Class 

Counsel and counsel of record in the Civil Actions.

If you are not sure whether you are in the Settlement Class or have any other questions about the 

Settlement, visit the Settlement Website at www.tiktokdataprivacysettlement.com or call the toll-free 

number, SETTLEMENT PHONE #. You also may send questions to the Settlement Administrator

at info@email address.

THE SETTLEMENT BENEFITS

To fully settle and release claims of the Settlement Class Members, Defendants have agreed to establish 

a $92 million fund (the “Settlement Fund”) to (i) make payments to the Settlement Class Members and 

(ii) pay for notice and administration costs of the Settlement, attorneys’ fees and expenses incurred by 

counsel for the Settlement Class, and service awards for Plaintiffs. Each Settlement Class member who 

timely files with the Settlement Administrator a valid Claim Form will receive a settlement payment of

a pro rata share of the Settlement Fund. 

If you are an Illinois resident and used the App in Illinois to create videos, you may be entitled to a 

payment up to 6 times that of non-Illinois residents due to certain claims in the lawsuit that are specific 

to Illinois residents.

Claim Form at the Settlement Website, www.tiktokdataprivacysettlement.com, or request a Claim Form

If you do not want benefits from the Settlement, and you want to keep the right to sue or continue to 

sue Defendants on your own about the legal issues in this case, then you must take steps to get out of

Settlement resolves. You must exclude yourself from this Settlement Class in order to pursue your own 

lawsuit.

the Settlement only if you do not exclude yourself. Excluding yourself is telling the Court that you do 

not want to be part of the Settlement. If you exclude yourself, you have no basis to object to the 

Settlement because it no longer affects you.
