The litigation centers on claims that Labcorp violated wiretapping laws in California and Pennsylvania by facilitating the collection of user search data through external technologies. While Labcorp denies any wrongdoing or liability, the proposed resolution focuses exclusively on injunctive relief rather than monetary payouts. Under the terms, the company would be required to disable specific tracking tools—such as Meta Pixel and Google Analytics—on its digital platforms for a two-year period. Additional requirements include annual compliance reviews, a formal policy for external tracking tools, and the appointment of a senior official to oversee adherence to these protocols.
Labcorp Website Tracking Settlement Faces Court Review
Users who conducted search queries on Labcorp’s website between May 2021 and April 2026 may be impacted by a proposed class action settlement. The agreement addresses allegations that the healthcare giant used third-party tracking tools to intercept personally identifiable information, a practice the company continues to deny.
Because the settlement lacks a damages component, class members cannot opt out and will be bound by the court's decision if the agreement is finalized. However, those affected retain the right to submit objections or comments regarding the proposal until November 23, 2026. The U.S. District Court for the Middle District of North Carolina will host a final hearing to determine if the terms are fair and adequate before granting approval.
