Logitech Camera Lawsuit Investigation: Were Your Privacy Rights Violated?

Attorneys working with ClassAction.org are investigating whether Logitech is illegally collecting and storing the facial scans of Illinois customers and their families with its Circle View doorbell camera.

Specifically, they’re looking into whether the company broke a state-specific law known as the Biometric Information Privacy Act (BIPA) and, if so, whether a class action lawsuit could be filed.

Lawsuits filed under the BIPA have the potential to provide $1,000 per violation – and as much as $5,000 in instances of intentional or reckless misconduct.

If you own a Logitech Circle View doorbell camera and have the facial recognition feature activated, help this investigation by filling out the form on this page. Attorneys need to hear from as many people as possible as they work to determine whether Illinois residents are having their facial scans illegally collected and stored – and whether they should be compensated as a result.

What Is the Illinois BIPA?

The Illinois BIPA is a state law passed in 2008 that regulates companies’ collection, use, storage, safeguarding and handling of “biometrics,” unique physical characteristics that can be used to verify someone’s identity and allow them to access sensitive information, such as bank accounts.

The law was enacted to ensure Illinois consumers have ultimate control over and extra protection for their biometrics – which include fingerprints, facial scans, retina scans and voiceprints – and points out that, unlike Social Security numbers, a person’s biometrics cannot be changed should they become compromised.

Attorneys working with ClassAction.org are investigating whether Logitech broke the BIPA by failing to meet these requirements before allowing its Circle View doorbell camera to collect Illinois residents’ facial scans.

Have Lawsuits Really Been Filed Over Facial Scan Collection?  

Yes. A significant number of BIPA lawsuits have been filed in recent years, with companies like Procter & Gamble, Giorgio Armani and Microsoft being taken to task over their allegedly illegal collection of consumers’ facial geometries.

While every case is different and no result is guaranteed, some consumers have found great success with their BIPA claims. Google, TikTok, Wendy’s and Shutterfly are among those who’ve agreed to multi-million dollar settlements over the past two years to resolve allegations that they violated the biometric privacy rights of Illinois consumers.

How Could a Class Action Lawsuit Help?

A successful BIPA case could force the defendant to come into compliance with the law and provide $1,000 – or even up to $5,000 – per violation.
