Settlement Overview

The Naviance Privacy Settlement resolves claims that PowerSchool Holdings LLC, Hobsons Inc., Heap Inc., and the Board of Education of the City of Chicago allegedly intercepted students’ confidential and sensitive communications while students used Naviance.

The consumer-facing service covered by this settlement is Naviance, including the Naviance Platform and the student.naviance.com landing page. The lawsuit alleges that third-party analytics and advertising technologies were used in connection with the platform in ways that violated federal and state privacy laws. The defendants deny wrongdoing and agreed to settle to avoid continued litigation.

This settlement matters because it offers both cash compensation and prospective privacy relief. In addition to the settlement fund, the agreement requires privacy-related changes involving analytics review, disclosures, data deletion requests, and contract compliance obligations going forward.

  • The exact payment amount depends on how many valid claims are approved.
  • Online claimants may choose PayPal, Venmo, Zelle, or check.
