Kotila, et al. v. Charter Financial Publishing Network, Inc.
United States District Court Western District of Michigan
Case No. 1:22-cv-00704-HYJ-RSK
A Court authorized this Notice. You are not being sued. This is not a solicitation from a lawyer.
A settlement (the “Settlement”) has been reached in a class action lawsuit against publisher Charter Financial Publishing Network, Inc. (“CFPN”). The class action lawsuit involves whether CFPN disclosed its customers’ subscription information to third parties, which is alleged to violate Michigan privacy law.
You are included if you are a Michigan resident who subscribed to CFPN’s publications before July 31, 2016 and your name, together with the name of the publication(s) to which you subscribed, were disclosed by CFPN at any time between April 25, 2016 and July 30, 2016 to any third party without your consent. Excluded from the Settlement Class are (1) all Persons whose subscription information was not disclosed to third parties, (2) any Judge or Magistrate presiding over this Action and members of their families; (3) the Defendant, Defendant’s subsidiaries, parent companies, successors, predecessors, and any entity in which the Defendant or its parents have a controlling interest and their current or former officers, directors, agents, attorneys, and employees; (4) persons who properly execute and file a timely request for exclusion from the class; and (5) the legal representatives, successors or assigns of any such excluded persons.
Those included in the Settlement will be eligible to receive a pro rata (meaning equal) portion of the Settlement Fund, which Class Counsel anticipates to be approximately $275.
