FTC Issues $5.6M in Refunds to Ring Customers Following Privacy Breach Settlement

Over 117,000 Ring customers are set to receive PayPal payments after a settlement over privacy violations involving unauthorized video access.

The FTC's settlement with Ring, owned by Amazon, addresses allegations that employees and contractors improperly accessed user videos.
Affected Ring customers will receive refunds automatically via PayPal, and no claim process is required.
Ring has implemented a privacy and security program and deleted certain data pre-2018 as part of the settlement terms.
Customers are advised to accept their refunds within 30 days of notification.
Ring denies the allegations but agreed to the settlement to focus on product innovation and customer privacy.
