What happened
This lawsuit, Grivetti, et al. v. Dental Intelligence, Inc., claims that Dental Intelligence collected information patients entered into the LocalMed Portal, an online tool many dental offices use for appointment booking, and disclosed it to Google and other third parties without consent through tracking technology. The case is pending in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Illinois.
Dental Intelligence denies all allegations and any wrongdoing, and the Court has not decided who is right. As part of the settlement, Dental Intelligence says it has implemented additional measures to prevent future disclosure of LocalMed Portal information to Google.
How to file a claim

Valid claimants share what remains on a pro rata basis.
All deductions are subject to Court approval at the March 25, 2027 Final Approval Hearing, and the Court may award less than requested. Individual payments are pro rata and depend on the number of valid claims.
