Disney+ · Hulu · ESPN+ subscribers in California

Disney paid $2.75 million to the State of California. Subscribers got nothing.

The California Attorney General alleged that Disney's streaming services collected subscribers' device IDs, IP addresses and viewing activity and shared them with third-party ad-tech companies — and kept sharing even after people opted out. If you used Disney+, Hulu or ESPN+ while in California at any time since January 1, 2019, you can be added to a data privacy claim against Disney.

“Consumers shouldn't have to go to infinity and beyond to assert their privacy rights. Today, my office secured the largest settlement to date under the CCPA over Disney's failure to stop selling and sharing the data of consumers that explicitly asked it to.”

Common questions

Start my claim ↑

No recovery, no fee. · Takes about 2 minutes

Is this real?+

Yes. On February 11, 2026 the California Attorney General announced a $2.75 million settlement with Disney over how it handled subscribers' data and opt-out requests. That money went to the State. This page is for California subscribers who want to pursue their own claim.

What does it cost me?+

Nothing out of pocket. No recovery, no fee — the fee is spelled out in the agreement you sign and comes only out of a recovery.

How much could I get?+

California Penal Code § 637.2 allows up to $5,000 in statutory damages per violation. Nothing is guaranteed — it depends on the facts of your claim and how it resolves.

Who is the law firm?+

A California law firm that handles these claims. Its name and every term are in the agreement you receive to sign. Nothing is binding until you sign it.

Is this a class action?+

No. Claims like this are pursued individually — your claim is your own. The State's settlement paid penalties to California; it did not compensate subscribers.

What happens after I sign up?+

Your agreement arrives by text and email within minutes. Sign it from your phone, the firm countersigns, and you get a copy. Later, the firm may ask for a screenshot of a Disney+, Hulu or ESPN+ email to confirm your subscription.

Does this affect my subscription?+

No. Signing up doesn't change your account or your service.
