What the ITS Technologies & Logistics BIPA Lawsuit Alleges

The lawsuit was brought by Michelle McGivney, the class representative. It alleges that ITS violated BIPA by capturing and obtaining scans of partial handprints or fingerprints from its Illinois employees without first giving them the required written disclosures and obtaining their written consent.

ITS denies the allegations. The company says it did nothing wrong and disputes that class certification is appropriate. The court has not decided who is right, and the settlement is not an admission of wrongdoing.

This is not a data breach case. The parties and class counsel say they are not aware of any biometric identifiers or information being compromised, breached, or hacked, and ITS denies that any data collected by its timeclocks was compromised. The dispute is about consent and disclosure, not hacking.

Who Qualifies for the ITS Technologies & Logistics Settlement?

The court has conditionally certified the following class for settlement purposes only: all persons in Illinois who are or were employed by ITS and whose partial handprint, fingerprint, or other biometric information was collected, captured, or otherwise obtained by ITS during the class period.

The official FAQ identifies the relevant period as September 7, 2017 through August 29, 2024.

You are not in the class if any of the following apply:

• You timely and validly opt out of the settlement.
• You are the judge or court staff assigned to the case, or an immediate family member of either.
• You previously released the claims at issue in this lawsuit.
• Your employment was governed by a collective bargaining agreement (the settlement website ties this exclusion to preemption under Section 301 of the Labor Management Relations Act of 1947).

Do you have to live in Illinois today? The class is defined by employment in Illinois, not current residence. If you used the covered timeclock while working for ITS in Illinois during the class period, you may qualify even if you have since moved.

Did you get a notice? Notices were scheduled to be mailed beginning September 4, 2026, to people identified from ITS records. If you believe you qualify but never received a notice or Claim Form, contact the settlement administrator (details below). Working at ITS alone does not automatically make you eligible; the administrator applies the settlement terms.

How Much Will ITS Technologies Settlement Payments Be?

The settlement creates a $925,000 fund. The settlement website says eligible class members who submit an approved claim should receive approximately $964.48 after deductions for attorneys’ fees, costs, and the class representative’s incentive award.

Not all $925,000 goes to workers. The following are paid from the fund, subject to court approval:

• Attorneys’ fees and costs: Class counsel will ask for no more than 33% of the fund. The court may award less. On a $925,000 fund, 33% is $305,250.
• Class representative incentive award: Up to $12,500.
• Settlement administration costs.

You do not pay class counsel anything out of pocket. The court appointed Neighborhood Legal LLC and Community Lawyers LLC to represent the class.

How to File a Claim for the ITS Technologies BIPA Settlement

Filing a claim is the only way to receive a payment.

1. Get your Claim Form. If you were identified as a class member, a Claim Form should have arrived with your mailed notice. If not, you can download the Claim Form from the official settlement website.
2. Complete it accurately. Use the name and mailing address where you want your check sent.
3. Submit it by December 4, 2026. The form must be timely, properly completed, and postmarked no later than December 4, 2026. Follow the return instructions printed on the form.
4. Keep a copy. Save a copy or photo of what you submit, plus any proof of mailing.

Moved recently? Your check goes to the address on file. To update your address, email [email protected].

When Will ITS Technologies Settlement Checks Be Issued?

There is no guaranteed payment date. Nothing is paid until the court grants final approval at the January 7, 2027 hearing.

If the court approves the settlement and it becomes effective, checks will be issued within 45 calendar days after the Effective Date. An appeal could delay payment. The parties say they cannot predict exactly when, or whether, final approval will be granted.

Cash your check promptly. Checks expire and become void 90 days after they are issued.

If the court does not approve the settlement, or it does not become final for another reason, class members receive no benefits and the lawsuit continues as if there had been no settlement.

Your Options: Claim, Opt Out, Object, or Do Nothing

Every class member has four choices, and each affects your legal rights differently.

Option	Deadline	What happens
Submit a Claim Form	December 4, 2026	You are eligible for a payment, and you give up the right to sue ITS over the released claims
Opt out	December 4, 2026	You get no payment, but you keep your right to sue ITS on your own
Object	December 4, 2026	You tell the court why you think the settlement is unfair. You must stay in the class to object
Do nothing	None	You get no payment, and you are still bound by the judgment and release your claims

What You Give Up by Staying in the Class

If the settlement becomes final, the court will dismiss the case with prejudice as to everyone who did not opt out. You then cannot bring your own lawsuit against ITS and the released parties over the released claims. This is true whether or not you file a claim. The exact release language is in the Settlement Agreement, which you should read before deciding.

How to Opt Out of the ITS Technologies BIPA Settlement

Mail a signed written request to the settlement administrator, postmarked no later than December 4, 2026. It must include:

• The case name, McGivney v. ITS Technologies & Logistics, LLC, and Case No. 2026-LA-000924
• Your full name, current address, and telephone number
• A statement that you wish to be excluded from the settlement

Mail it to:

ITS BIPA Settlement c/o Settlement Administrator P.O. Box 25226 Santa Ana, CA 92799

If you opt out, you receive nothing from this settlement and you keep any claims you may have against ITS. Those claims remain subject to applicable law and any defenses ITS may raise.

How to Object to the ITS Technologies BIPA Settlement

Only class members who do not opt out can object. Your objection must be in writing, personally signed, and filed with the Clerk of the Circuit Court of DuPage County, 505 N. County Farm Rd., Wheaton, Illinois. It must include:

1. Your name and address
2. An explanation of why you believe you are a class member
3. All grounds for the objection, including legal authority and supporting evidence
4. The name and contact information of any attorney who represented, advised, or helped you with the objection, or who may profit from it
5. Any other class action objections you filed, or had filed for you, in the last five years
6. A statement of whether you intend to appear at the Final Approval Hearing

You must also mail or deliver a copy, postmarked no later than December 4, 2026, to both class counsel and defendant’s counsel. If you hire an attorney, that attorney must file a notice of appearance by the same date, and you are responsible for paying that attorney.

Court	Class Counsel	Defendant’s Counsel
Circuit Court of DuPage County Courthouse, 505 N. County Farm Rd., Room 2015, Wheaton, IL	Michael Drew, Neighborhood Legal LLC, 20 N. Clark Street #3300, Chicago, IL 60602; Michael Wood, Community Lawyers, LLC, 980 N. Michigan Avenue, Suite 1400, Chicago, IL 60611	Orly Henry, Littler Mendelson, P.C., 321 North Clark Street, Suite 1100, Chicago, IL 60654

Missing a detail has a cost. Objections that are not timely and in the required form are waived, and you lose the right to be heard or to appeal approval of the settlement. An objector who wants the court to consider the objection must also appear at the Final Approval Hearing, in person or through counsel.

Final Approval Hearing: What Happens on January 7, 2027

The court will hold the Final Approval Hearing at 9:00 a.m. on January 7, 2027, at the Circuit Court of DuPage County Courthouse in Wheaton, Illinois, with participation by Zoom. The court will decide:

• Whether the settlement is fair, reasonable, adequate, and in the best interests of the class
• Whether to approve class counsel’s request for attorneys’ fees and expenses
• Whether to approve the incentive award for the class representative

You do not have to attend unless you are objecting. The hearing may be postponed to a different date or time without notice, so check the official website for updates.

Why Illinois BIPA Settlements Like This One Keep Happening

BIPA (740 ILCS 14/1 et seq.) requires private companies to give written notice and obtain written consent before collecting biometric identifiers such as fingerprints and hand scans. It allows people to sue for $1,000 per negligent violation or $5,000 per intentional or reckless violation. Biometric data is especially sensitive because, unlike a password, you cannot change your fingerprint.

Timeclocks have produced many of these cases. In Cothron v. White Castle System, Inc. (2023), the Illinois Supreme Court held that a separate claim accrues each time biometric data is collected or disclosed, which made potential damages very large. In August 2024, Illinois amended BIPA so that a person generally can recover only once per defendant for repeated collection of the same biometric identifier by the same method. That change is one reason newer settlements tend to be smaller per person than earlier ones.
