At A Glance

This Alert Affects:
Facebook users who have an MLB.com account or subscription and have watched videos on MLB’s website.
What’s Going On?
It’s believed that Major League Baseball Advanced Media, L.P. (MLB) may have used a tracking tool on its website to record subscribers’ and accountholders’ activities – specifically, which videos they watch – and secretly share this data with Facebook. Attorneys are now gathering MLB.com users to take action over potential privacy violations.
What You Can Do
If you’re an MLB.com subscriber or accountholder (i.e., you have either an MLB.com account, MLB.TV subscription or an MLB At Bat subscription, or you log into MLB.com using your TV provider information) who has watched videos on MLB.com and you also have a Facebook account, sign up today by using the link below.
What Am I Signing Up For, Exactly?
You’re signing up for what’s known as “mass arbitration,” which involves hundreds or thousands of consumers bringing individual arbitration claims against the same company at the same time and over the same issue. This is different from class action litigation and takes place outside of court.
Does This Cost Anything?
It costs nothing to sign up, and the attorneys will only get paid if they win your claim.
How Much Could I Get?
While there are no guarantees, the federal Video Privacy Protection Act states that consumers who had their rights violated under the law could be owed $2,500.

The information submitted on this page will be forwarded to Milberg Coleman Bryson Phillips Grossman, PLLC who has sponsored this investigation.
