If you were a resident of Alabama, California, Illinois, Indiana, Nevada, Ohio, or South Dakota who was not a registered user of InsideView or Demandbase whose InsideView “people” profile was viewed by a free user, you may be entitled to benefits from a settlement.
A settlement has been reached in a class action lawsuit between residents of certain U.S. States against Demandbase, Inc. and InsideView Technologies, Inc. (“Defendants”) alleging that Defendants’ use of consumers’ names, contact information, job titles, places of work, education histories, cities of residence, and other personal information to encourage individuals to purchase subscriptions to Defendants’ database without their consent violated right-of-publicity statutes in Alabama, California, Illinois, Indiana, Nevada, Ohio, and South Dakota. Defendants deny that they violated any law. The Court has not decided who is right or wrong.
If the Court approves the Settlement, members of the Settlement Classes who submit a valid claim will receive an equal, or pro rata, share of their respective state Settlement Fund, after payment of Settlement Administration expenses, attorneys’ fees and costs, and any service award to their state Settlement Class Representative(s).
Defendants have also agreed to implement certain changes in business practices. In any revived version of the legacy website insideview.com, Defendants shall obscure information in any teaser “people” profiles of Settlement Class Members that are displayed to non-subscribers (e.g., free users) and that invite the purchase of a subscription (e.g., via the display of an “Upgrade to Pro” button on the profile) such that the teaser profiles do not precisely identify the specific person.
