If You Were an AOL Member Between March 1, 2006 and May 31, 2006,

You May Be Eligible for a Payment from a Class Action Settlement

Even if you do nothing, your legal rights may be affected by a class action lawsuit pending in this court. Read this Notice carefully.

A Settlement has been reached with AOL Inc. (“AOL”) in a class action lawsuit about certain users’ search query data that were made available for download from the Internet in 2006. AOL said that the data was anonymous. The lawsuit, however, claims that some users’ identities could be determined from the search data and that AOL violated certain privacy and consumer protection laws.
AOL denies it did anything wrong and the Settlement does not prove that AOL did anything wrong.
The Settlement provides payments for anyone who: (a) had an AOL account between March 1, 2006 and May 31, 2006, and (b) believes in good faith that their search data may have been made public.
