According to a class action lawsuit, NBA Properties and Dapper Labs disclosed NBA Top Shot users’ personally identifiable information to Meta without consent.
NBA Top Shot is a digital trading card game that allows players to buy, sell and trade digital highlights from NBA games.
Consumers who took legal action said the act was against the federal Video Privacy Protection Act (VPPA) and that it violated California privacy laws.
NBA Properties and Dapper Labs have agreed to a $7.05 million payout to settle the class action lawsuit.

Under the terms of the statement, class members affected by the alleged information disclosure can receive an estimated share between $36 and $122.
The amount each class member will receive will depend on the number of claims filed in the lawsuit.
Consumers who had an active Facebook account and an NBA Top Shot account between June 15, 2020, and January 30, 2025, are eligible to claim a payment.
But they must submit a valid claim form by December 16, 2025.
The final approval hearing for the NBA video privacy class action lawsuit settlement is scheduled for December 19, 2025.
Meanwhile, one week remains for Americans to claim up to $7,500 in a massive $177m settlement against the telecommunications giant AT&T.
AT&T was accused of failing to prevent two individual data leaks that compromised the private information of 7.6 million current account holders and 65.4 million former account holders.
What’s a class-action settlement?
CLASS action lawsuits offer groups of people, or ‘classes,’ a way to band together in court.
These suits are often brought by one or a few people who allege a company or other entity has wronged a large group of people.
When a suit becomes a class action, it extends to all “class members,” or people who may have similar complaints to those who filed the suit.
Companies often settle class actions – offering payment to class members who typically waive their right to pursue further legal action by accepting money.
These payout agreements frequently include statements by the defendant denying wrongdoing. Companies tend to settle class actions to avoid the costs of further litigation.
Pollution, discrimination, or false advertising are a few examples of what can land a class action on a company’s doorstep.
