GoodRx settlement: $32M fund, no proof needed, file by Dec 29

What the GoodRx settlement is about

This is a privacy case, not a pricing case. The plaintiffs say GoodRx passed information about how people used its website, app and related services to advertising and social media companies, using tracking tools such as pixels and software development kits. They argue that broke privacy and consumer protection laws. The case is Doe v. GoodRx Holdings, Inc., No. 4:23-cv-00501-AMO, in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California in Oakland.

GoodRx and Criteo deny breaking any law. They settled to avoid the cost and uncertainty of continuing. The court preliminarily approved the deal on September 8, 2026, and a judge still has to give final approval. Claims against Meta and Google are not part of this settlement.

Who qualifies for the GoodRx class action settlement

The class is every natural person in the United States who used any website, app or service made available by or through GoodRx at any time before April 20, 2024. That includes GoodRx Gold, HeyDoctor and GoodRx Care, not just the main discount-coupon app.

Left out are the defendants and their affiliates, people who opt out, Meta and Google, and the judges and their clerks. If you ever searched for a drug price or used a GoodRx coupon before that date, you likely fit the description, but the administrator decides.

How much you could get from the GoodRx settlement

There is no fixed payout. The $32,000,000 fund pays for notice and administration, service awards for the people who brought the case, and attorneys' fees before anything reaches claimants. Class counsel says it will ask for up to one-third of the fund plus up to $125,000 in expenses, and the court decides. What remains is divided equally among valid claims.

That makes the final check depend on how many people file. A big pool of claimants means smaller checks. With a class this large, expect a modest amount; see why settlement checks are so small and what no-proof settlements actually pay. Do not trust any site that promises a specific dollar figure.

How to file a GoodRx settlement claim

Filing is free and takes a few minutes. The claim asks for your contact details, how you want to be paid, a statement that you live in the U.S. and used GoodRx before April 20, 2024, and an electronic signature. Open Class Actions reports that the ID and PIN from your notice are optional and that the site has a page for people who never received a notice. If you filed during a testing period, that claim was rejected and you must file again.

Only use the official site and the administrator, A.B. Data. Copycat sites exist for every big settlement.

1. Go to the official settlement site, goodrxprivacysettlement.com, and open the claim form.
2. Enter your name, address, phone and email.
3. Add your Unique ID and PIN from the notice if you have them. The no-notice page is for people who do not.
4. Confirm you used a GoodRx website, app or service before April 20, 2024 and choose how to be paid.
5. Sign electronically and submit by December 29, 2026, or mail a paper form postmarked by that date.

GoodRx settlement key dates

The claim, opt-out and objection deadlines all land on the same day, so decide early. Filing a claim and opting out are opposites: if you exclude yourself you get no payment and keep the right to sue on your own. Read how to opt out before choosing.

Is the GoodRx settlement legit?

Yes. It is a federal class action with a court-approved notice, a named administrator and a published hearing date. The notice lists A.B. Data, Ltd. at 1-877-888-9232 and the web address goodrxprivacysettlement.com. Never pay a fee to file, and be wary of texts or emails with different links. You can read general guidance on settlement administrators to see what real notices look like.

What happens after you file

The administrator reviews each claim. Payment only goes out after the judge grants final approval and any appeals end, and the notice warns appeals can sometimes take a year or more. No payment date is set. Secondary sites disagree on how soon money moves after approval, so rely on the settlement website for updates.

Owed helps you find settlements you may qualify for, explains them in plain English, opens the official claim form, reminds you before deadlines and tracks your claim to payout. You submit the claim yourself. Owed Pro is $2 for the first week, then $49 per year — one flat membership. Owed never takes a percentage of any payout. Filing directly with the administrator costs nothing. For timing, see how long settlement checks take. This article is not legal advice; the court and administrator decide eligibility and amounts.
