Compass and 365 Retail has agreed to a $6.8 million fingerprint class action lawsuit settlement to resolve claims their vending machines requiring a finger scan violated the Illinois Biometric Information Privacy Act ( BIPA).

The settlement benefits individuals who used one of Compass’ or 365 Retail’s Illinois vending systems between Aug. 23, 2014, and Nov. 2, 2021. Eligible vending systems were operated under names like Smart Market, Avenue C, Market Now, eMart, NEX Micro Markets, and Honest Eats Marketplace. The kiosks were placed in canteens, break rooms, and food service areas and allowed people to purchase food or drinks.

There are nearly 69,000 affected consumers included in the vending machines fingerprint settlement, based on defendant records, the biometric privacy settlement agreement says.

Both Compass and 365 Retail are vending machine companies that offer food and drink in break rooms and other locations. The companies offer a number of micro market solutions including touchless payment options.

Although the companies provide innovative vending options, legal action against Compass and 365 Retail claim the vendors violate Illinois biometric laws.

Compass and 365 Retail vending machines collect fingerprint data from consumers, according to a class action lawsuit against the companies. However, despite collecting biometric data in Illinois, the companies allegedly fail to comply with BIPA.

BIPA ensures the privacy of Illinoisans’ biometric data such as fingerprints, facial geometry scans, and voice profiles. Under the law, companies are required to get consumer consent before collecting biometrics and must comply with regulations on disclosures and retention. The two vending companies allegedly fail to comply with BIPA’s consent and disclosure requirements.

Compass and 365 Retail haven’t admitted any wrongdoing but agreed to resolve the claims with a $6.8 million vending machines fingerprint settlement.

Under the terms of the deal, Class Members can receive a cash payment.

Exact payment amounts will vary depending on the number of claimants who participate in the settlement. However, Class counsel anticipates each claimant could receive payments between $300 and $600.

The deadline for exclusion and objection is July 29, 2022. 

The final approval hearing in the vending machines fingerprint settlement is scheduled for Sept. 8, 2022.

In order to receive benefits from the settlement, Class Members must submit a valid claim form by July 29, 2022. Class Members have the option to contact the settlement administrator and update their information if their address changes after filing a claim.

The settlement benefits individuals who used one of Compass’ or 365 Retail’s Illinois vending systems between Aug. 23, 2014, and Nov. 2, 2021. Eligible vending systems were operated under names like Smart Market, Avenue C, Market Now, eMart, NEX Micro Markets, and Honest Eats Marketplace. The kiosks were placed in canteens, break rooms, and food service areas and allowed people to purchase food or drinks.

No proof of purchase required

How do you get a claim #?

They say if you have trouble to call the number on the site. It’s right above the email address

What exactly does “add me” mean?!! I have asked this question many many times but no one ever has answered! PLEASE??!! Somebody??!!

Hi Maria, I was wondering the same thing as well, but then did my own research. From what I read commenting, “add me” in the comments means nothing. A person who wishes to be added has to click the “Submit a Claim” button to be added. I hope this helps!

It means people didn’t read the description about needing to actually live in Illinois and have proof they used the vending machine. They don’t actually qualify for the settlement but they think by commenting “add me” someone from this website is going to magically fill out a claim form for them so they can get money they’re not actually owed.

I don’t think they have any clue what is going on. Claim number and pin will not magically appear!

Add me I used honest ears a bunch of times

Add me I still use them…

Add me I used smart market

Add me I used honest eats

Please add me Me and my Husband used these Vending Machines

I did not get any email code how do I join this suit

Me either! I keep seeing info about being able to file a claim by signing in with your email address but there is no option to do that. Not everyone gets these claim ID numbers and why post false instructions??!!

If anyone answers you please let me know!

Noone will add you only person to help is the claim admin. And the exact location of whereby used the machines at. It’s a process if you didn’t get a letter.

Add me. These vending machines were used in the places I worked

Add me. These vending machines were in all of our break rooms

I used the vending machines honest eats market place in Illinois

Why would someone need need to get fingerprinted to use a vending machine?

Don’t forget all the money owed to me from traveling

Add me i eat frin vending machines all the time
