Delta Defense VPPA Settlement, USCCA Members Get Cash for Video Privacy Violations—No Proof Required (2026)
Delta Defense and United States Concealed Carry Association agreed to a $1.45 million settlement for illegally sharing video viewing data with Facebook and Meta through tracking pixels. USCCA account holders who watched paywalled videos between September 2020 and June 2025 can claim their share—no proof of purchase required. Claim deadline is March 2, 2026.
If you had a USCCA account and watched educational gun safety or training videos behind their paywall, you’re automatically in the settlement class.
What Is the Delta VPPA Settlement About?
This case revolves around the Video Privacy Protection Act, a federal law passed in 1988 after a newspaper published Supreme Court nominee Robert Bork’s Blockbuster rental history. Congress decided Americans’ video viewing habits deserved strong privacy protection.
The lawsuit, John, et al. v. Delta Defense, LLC, et al., Case No. 23-CV-1253, pending in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Wisconsin, alleges Delta Defense and USCCA violated VPPA by installing Meta Pixel tracking technology on pages containing educational videos. This pixel allegedly transmitted user viewing information to Facebook and Meta Platforms without obtaining required written consent.
Delta and USCCA deny all wrongdoing but agreed to settle to avoid costly litigation. The settlement is not an admission of liability.
Who Qualifies for the Settlement?
You’re eligible if you meet this definition: “All persons in the United States who had an account (free or paid) with a Defendant and visited a page on a Defendant’s website housing a video behind a paywall or subscription wall between September 21, 2020 to June 2, 2025.”
Specifically, you qualify if:
You Had a USCCA Account. Either a free or paid account with Delta Defense or USCCA during the class period.
You Viewed Paywalled Videos. You accessed video content on usconcealedcarry.com or academy.usconcealedcarry.com that was behind a subscription wall or paywall.
U.S. Residency. You were in the United States when accessing the videos.
Excluded from the class are defendants’ officers, directors, the judge, their immediate family, court staff, and anyone who validly opts out.
How Much Will You Receive?
Each eligible class member receives a pro rata share of the net settlement fund. From the $1.45 million total:
- Settlement Class Counsel can request up to $483,333 (one-third) for attorneys’ fees
- Plaintiffs can request up to $2,000 each ($6,000 total) as service awards
- Settlement administration costs will be deducted
The remaining funds get divided equally among all valid claimants. Your exact payment depends on how many people file claims. This settlement follows similar VPPA enforcement actions like the Facebook AARP Class Action Lawsuit Settlement distributing $12.5 million for Meta Pixel violations.
Why the VPPA Matters
The Video Privacy Protection Act is one of the few federal privacy laws that allows individuals to sue directly without proving actual harm. The law requires video service providers to obtain informed written consent before sharing personally identifiable viewing information with third parties.
Similar to issues in the VShred lawsuit where the fitness app sold user data for $4 million, tracking pixels installed on websites collect detailed user behavior—which videos you watch, how long you watch, when you pause, what you click next. This data gets transmitted to advertising platforms that build profiles for targeted marketing.
For gun owners using USCCA’s training platform, this raises additional privacy concerns. Video viewing data could reveal what firearms you own, what training you’re seeking, your concealment carry methods, and security vulnerabilities—sensitive information many prefer to keep private.

Frequently Asked Questions
What if I deleted my USCCA account?
You still qualify if you had an account and viewed paywalled videos during the class period. Current account status doesn’t matter—only whether you were a member when the alleged tracking occurred.
Do I need my account login information?
No. The settlement administrator will verify class membership using defendants’ records. You don’t need to access your old account or remember your login credentials.
What if I had multiple USCCA accounts?
Submit one claim covering all accounts. Provide details of each account when filing your claim form.
Can I still use USCCA services if I participate?
Yes. Participating in the settlement doesn’t affect your ability to continue using USCCA’s training platform or membership benefits.
How do I know if videos I watched were “paywalled”?
If you had to log into your USCCA account or subscribe to access training videos, those were likely behind a paywall or subscription wall. The settlement covers both free and paid accounts.
What happens if I do nothing?
You receive no payment but still release your right to sue Delta/USCCA for the VPPA violations covered by this settlement. You also give up your right to object to the settlement terms.
