Vizio Inc. was caught collecting, storing, and sharing with others the viewing habits of Vizio smart television owners. This was all done without the owner's consent from February 2014 through February 2017 and supposedly all owners were affected if they ever allowed it to connect to the internet - which I can't imagine who this wouldn't apply to.
The settlement reward is paltry compared to their blatant privacy violations and the profit they likely made from consumer data while breaking the law. You can file an electronic claim here. I'm sharing this because you only have until April 29th to file a claim.
It never occurred to me before buying a smart television that my every entertainment move could be monetized like that. Do all/most smart television manufacturers do this? If so, I wonder why the other manufacturers aren't facing class-action lawsuits too.
