PHILADELPHIA, Feb. 6, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- The following statement is being issued by Kroll Settlement Administration regarding Doe v. Mount Nittany Health.

A settlement has been proposed in a class action lawsuit called Doe v. Mount Nittany Health, et al., Case No. 2023-815 (the "Lawsuit"), which is pending in the Court of Common Pleas of Centre County, Pennsylvania (the "Court'). The Lawsuit alleges that personal and health information of Plaintiffs and members of the Settlement Class was allegedly disclosed to Facebook, Google, and other third parties as a result of the alleged use of certain third-party pixel technologies between January 1, 2007 and January 7, 2025. The Court has granted Preliminary Approval of the Settlement Agreement and has conditionally certified the Settlement Class for purposes of Settlement only.

Who is included in the Settlement?
All Pennsylvania residents whose personal information or health information was or may have been disclosed to a third party through any tracking pixels on any websites or patient portals operated by or affiliated with Mount Nittany from January 1, 2007 through January 7, 2025.

What are the Settlement Benefits?
Settlement Class Members may receive monetary compensation of an equal share of the Net Settlement Fund. The Net Settlement Fund consists of the funds that remain from the $1,800,000 Settlement Fund following the payment of Notice and Claims Administration Costs, Class Representative Service Awards, and Attorneys' Fees, Costs and Expenses Award. You must submit a Claim Form to receive Settlement benefits. More details are on www.mnpixelsettlement.com.
