NOTICE OF PENDING CLASS ACTION AND NOTICE OF PROPOSED SETTLEMENT
PERKINS V. LINKEDIN CORP.
You are receiving this e-mail because you may have used LinkedIn's Add
Connections feature between September 17, 2011 and October 31, 2014.
A federal court authorized this Notice. This is not a solicitation from a
lawyer.
Why did I get this notice? This Notice relates to a proposed settlement ("
Settlement") of a class action lawsuit ("Action") against LinkedIn
Corporation ("LinkedIn") based on LinkedIn's alleged improper use of a
service called "Add Connections" to grow its member base.
What is the Action about? The Action challenges LinkedIn's use of a service
called Add Connections to grow its member base. Add Connections allows
LinkedIn members to import contacts from their external email accounts and
email connection invitations to one or more of those contacts inviting them
to connect on LinkedIn. If a connection invitation is not accepted within a
certain period of time, up to two "reminder emails" are sent reminding the
recipient that the connection invitation is pending. The Court found that
members consented to importing their contacts and sending the connection
invitation, but did not find that members consented to LinkedIn sending the
two reminder emails. The Plaintiffs contend that LinkedIn members did not
consent to the use of their names and likenesses in those reminder emails.
LinkedIn denies these allegations and any and all wrongdoing or liability.
No court or other entity has made a judgment or other determination of any
liability.
What relief does the Settlement provide? LinkedIn has revised disclosures,
clarifying that up to two reminders are sent for each connection invitation
so members can make fully-informed decisions before sending a connection
invitation. In addition, by the end of 2015, LinkedIn will implement new
functionality allowing members to stop reminders from being sent by
canceling the connection invitation. LinkedIn has also agreed to pay $13
million into a fund that can be used, in part, to make payments to members
of the Settlement Class who file approved claims. Attorneys representing the
Settlement Class will petition the Court for payment of the following from
the fund: (1) reasonable attorneys' fees, expenses, and costs up to a
maximum of $3,250,000, and (2) service awards for the Plaintiffs up to a
maximum of $1,500 each. The payment amount for members of the Settlement
Class who file approved claims will be calculated on a pro rata basis, which
means that it will depend on the total number of approved claims. If the
number of approved claims results in a payment amount of less than $10,
LinkedIn will pay an additional amount up to $750,000 into the fund. If the
pro rata amount is so small that it cannot be distributed in a way that is
economically feasible, payments will be made, instead, to Cy Pres Recipients
selected by the Parties and approved by the Court. No one knows in advance
whether or in what amount payments will be made to claimants.
