Used the CVS app? You may be owed part of $25M digital privacy settlement in NC
CVS is facing a $25 million privacy settlement in North Carolina tied to its mobile app. People who used the app may be eligible to claim a portion of the settlement funds.
Why this matters: If you used the CVS app, there is money with your name on it — but only if you claim it. Most people will not bother, which is exactly how companies prefer it. The settlement suggests CVS collected or shared user data in ways that crossed a legal line. A $25 million payout sounds large until you remember how many people used the app. The individual checks will be small. The bigger point is that apps built around health and pharmacy data carry real privacy stakes, and most users never know what they agreed to hand over.
