Written by Site Hub on May 26, 2025
The University of Rochester Medical Center (URMC) has proposed a settlement in a class action lawsuit alleging unauthorized data sharing. Plaintiffs claim URMC used web tracking tools that shared patients’ identifiable and health data with third parties, including Facebook. The lawsuit covers users of the MyChart portal (2021–2023) and online forms (2018–2023). URMC denies the allegations but agreed to settle to avoid prolonged litigation. The deadline to submit claims or objections is July 21, 2025. The court has not yet approved the settlement. Affected users can find more information on the official URMC settlement website.
