Dick's Sporting Goods Arbitration Claim Over Alleged Data Sharing

Law firms Labaton Keller Sucharow LLP and Bursor & Fisher, P.A. are looking into whether Dick's Sporting Goods customers have grounds for individual arbitration claims over how their personal information was handled.

The claims allege that Dick's gathered customer data through accounts, website and app purchases, loyalty program activity, and other interactions, then combined it with outside data sources to build consumer profiles and power advertising insights, analytics, and targeted ads, allegedly without customers' knowledge. Dick's has not publicly responded to these allegations.

This is only an intake effort for possible individual arbitration cases, not a class action or existing settlement. Each claim would be reviewed on its own, and the firms may try to negotiate with Dick's or move forward with arbitration where it makes sense. There's no guarantee of any recovery.

You may qualify if you had a Dick's Sporting Goods account or bought something through the company's website or app on or after January 1, 2024.

To be considered, select "Get Started" and answer a few screening questions. Those accepted will need to sign an attorney-client agreement, use a secure client portal, share details about their Dick's account or purchase, and upload supporting documents if requested.

There are no upfront costs. The firms only get paid a percentage of any settlement or recovery if your claim succeeds, with the exact share depending on your state's rules and your attorney-client agreement.
