CVS customers may be eligible for money from settlement

Many CVS customers may be eligible for money as part of a settlement in a class action lawsuit against the company.

The settlement stems from a lawsuit that alleged CVS violated laws by sharing user data from its website and application with advertising company Criteo.

CVS and Criteo denied any wrongdoing. In a statement, Amy Thibault, a CVS spokesperson, said: "We stand by our privacy practices and believe they comply with applicable laws. The settlement resolves claims based on legal theories that challenge common online industry practices."

The statement also said CVS agreed to the settlement to "avoid expense and distraction of prolonged litigation."

While the settlement is still awaiting final court approval, affected customers can submit their claims through Nov. 16. Here's what to know.

People who are eligible to file a claim in the settlement can submit their claim online on the settlement website.
