What the GoodRx Settlement Is About
GoodRx is the prescription discount service millions of Americans use to compare drug prices and pull up pharmacy coupons. People typed in medication names, searched for conditions, and booked telehealth visits through HeyDoctor and GoodRx Care.
The lawsuit, Doe v. GoodRx Holdings, Inc. (Case No. 4:23-cv-00501, U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California), claims GoodRx used tracking pixels and software development kits (SDKs) that passed that information to advertising and analytics companies, including Criteo, Meta, and Google. In plain terms, plaintiffs say what you searched for on GoodRx could have been used to target ads at you elsewhere online.
The private lawsuits started in February 2023, one day after the Federal Trade Commission sued GoodRx over the same data sharing. GoodRx paid a $1.5 million civil penalty in the FTC case, but that money went to the government, not to users. This class settlement is the first money set aside for consumers.
GoodRx and Criteo deny any wrongdoing. They agreed to settle to avoid the cost of continued litigation.

Who Qualifies for the GoodRx Settlement?
You are a class member if you are a person in the United States who used any of these before April 20, 2024:
- The GoodRx website
- The GoodRx mobile app
- GoodRx Gold
- HeyDoctor
- GoodRx Care
You do not need to have paid GoodRx anything. Simply using the free coupon search counts.
Not included: GoodRx and Criteo and their affiliates, Meta, Google, the judges on the case and their staff, and anyone who opts out.
How Much Will You Get?
The $32 million is a non-reversionary fund, which means none of it goes back to GoodRx or Criteo. Before payments go out, the court will deduct:
- Attorneys’ fees (class counsel has asked for up to one third, roughly $10.67 million)
- Up to $125,000 in litigation expenses
- Service awards of up to $2,000 for each named plaintiff
- Notice and administration costs
What is left is split equally among every valid claim. No per person amount has been announced, because it depends on how many people file. GoodRx has tens of millions of users, so if claim rates are high the payment could be small. If few people file, each check grows.

How to File Your GoodRx Settlement Claim
Step 1: Go to the official site. Visit GoodRxPrivacySettlement.com. This address is named in the court’s preliminary approval order. Ignore any lookalike domain, including the test server address that circulated in October.
Step 2: Enter your details. The form asks for your name, contact information, and confirmation that you lived in the U.S. and used GoodRx before April 20, 2024. If you received a notice, you can enter the Unique ID and PIN, but it is optional.
Step 3: Choose how to get paid. Options are PayPal, Venmo, Zelle, a virtual prepaid card, or a paper check.
Step 4: Sign and submit by December 29, 2026. Online claims are due by 11:59 p.m. Eastern on December 29, 2026. Mailed claims must be postmarked by that date.
The form never asks for a fee, a bank login, a credit card number, or your Social Security number. If anything asks for those, it is not the real site. Our guide on class action settlement scams explains the warning signs.
Why Some People Need to File Again
In mid October 2026, the settlement site went live for testing before notices were mailed. Some users found it and filed early. The site then went offline on October 18 and showed a maintenance page on October 21 before coming back on October 23.
According to the claims administrator, claims submitted during the testing window were treated as untimely. If you filed before notices went out, submit a new claim. The December 29 deadline did not change.

Common Questions About the GoodRx Settlement
Is the GoodRx settlement legit?
Yes. It comes from a real federal case, Doe v. GoodRx Holdings, Inc., No. 4:23-cv-00501, in the Northern District of California before Judge Araceli Martínez Olguín. The administrator is A.B. Data, Ltd. You can confirm the case on PACER or CourtListener. For a wider checklist, read how to tell if a settlement check is real.
Do I need proof that I used GoodRx?
No. You confirm your use on the claim form under penalty of perjury. No screenshots, receipts, or prescription records are required.
How much money will I get from the GoodRx settlement?
Nobody knows yet. Every valid claimant gets the same share of the net fund. The final figure depends on the total number of approved claims.
I only used the free GoodRx coupons. Do I qualify?
Yes. Any use of the GoodRx website, app, or related services before April 20, 2024 counts. You did not need a paid GoodRx Gold membership.
Why did the court reject the first GoodRx settlement?
In June 2025 the court declined to approve an earlier deal that involved only GoodRx. The parties came back with a new agreement that added Criteo as a settling defendant, and that version received preliminary approval in September 2026.
When will GoodRx settlement payments be sent?
Payments are expected roughly 75 days after the court grants final approval, assuming there are no appeals. The final approval hearing is February 11, 2027, so the earliest realistic payout is spring 2027. See how class action settlement payouts work.
Is GoodRx settlement money taxable?
Small privacy settlement payments are usually not treated as income, but it depends on your situation. Our guide on whether settlement money is taxable explains the rules.
