GameStop will pay up to $4.5 million to settle allegations of illegally sharing customers' personal data with Facebook via a tracking pixel on its website. The lawsuit claimed this violated the Video Privacy Protection Act by sending purchase details without consent.

The settlement covers customers who bought games online between August 18, 2020, and April 17, 2025, were Facebook members with public profiles under their real names. Affected customers may receive up to $5 cash or a $10 voucher.

GameStop denies wrongdoing and will remove the tracking pixel to prevent future data sharing. The class action lawsuit accused the retail giant of breaking the federal law by quietly sending customers’ personal information, including video game purchase details, to Facebook without consent.

The exact number of people affected is unclear, but the settlement suggests hundreds of thousands may be eligible. GameStop has pledged to permanently remove the tracking pixel to stop any unauthorized data sharing going forward.
