TikTok class-action lawsuit settlement: What users need to know

TikTok is offering $92 million to settle a battle over personal data -- but you probably shouldn’t get too excited about your share.

TikTok users may have noticed the notifications about the settlement starting Monday. Yes, it’s a real case.

People who have been using the app since before September could be entitled to money from the class-action lawsuit. The suit argued parent company Bytedance violated laws against data harvesting without consent.

You can apply for your share online, but if every user tries to collect then the payment could be very small -- possibly less than a dollar.
