A settlement has been reached with Southern Illinois Healthcare Enterprises, Inc., Southern Illinois Hospital Services, and Southern Illinois Medical Services, NFP (“Southern Illinois” or “Defendants”) in a class action lawsuit. This lawsuit concerned Southern Illinois' use of third-party tracking technologies, called “tracking pixels,” on its web pages. The plaintiff claims that using tracking pixels violated certain privacy laws.
The lawsuit is called Doe v. Southern Illinois Healthcare Enterprises, Inc., Southern Illinois Hospital Services, and Southern Illinois Medical Services, NFP, Case No. 2023LA55. It is pending in the Circuit Court of Williamson County, Illinois (the “Litigation”). Southern Illinois denies that it did anything wrong, and the Court has not decided who is right. The parties have agreed to settle the lawsuit (the “Settlement”) to avoid the costs and risks, disruptions, and uncertainties of continuing the Litigation.
