Target Class Action Settlement 2026 — Data Breach, Pricing Violations & BIPA Claims

Last Updated: April 2026

Target Corporation has faced some of the most consequential class action lawsuits in retail history — starting with the 2013 holiday season data breach that exposed 40 million credit and debit card numbers and helped define the modern era of data breach litigation. Today, Target continues to face class actions over pricing accuracy violations, biometric data collection under Illinois BIPA, and discriminatory employment practices. Customers who shopped at Target between 2013 and 2024 may have multiple claims to explore.

The 2013 Target Data Breach — A Landmark Case

During the 2013 holiday shopping season (November 27 to December 15, 2013), hackers who had infiltrated Target's network through a third-party HVAC vendor accessed the point-of-sale systems and stole the credit and debit card data of approximately 40 million shoppers. An additional 70 million customers had their names, mailing addresses, phone numbers, and email addresses exposed. The breach became one of the defining data security incidents in American history and triggered a wave of new data breach legislation and corporate security investment. Target reached an $18.5 million settlement with 47 state attorneys general and a separate $10 million class action settlement with directly affected consumers. While the main filing window has closed, Target has faced follow-on litigation as the long-term consequences of the breach continue to emerge.

Target Price Scanner and Pricing Accuracy Class Actions

Multiple class action lawsuits have been filed against Target in California, Minnesota, and other states over pricing accuracy violations — where prices displayed on store shelves or in advertisements differed from the amounts charged at the register. California Consumer Legal Remedies Act and similar state laws require retailers to honor the lower advertised price and can impose statutory damages when they fail to do so. If you were charged more at a Target register than the shelf price displayed, you may be part of an active class action. These cases are particularly common during promotional periods when sale prices are not properly updated in point-of-sale systems.

Target Illinois BIPA Biometric Data Violations

Target has faced class action lawsuits in Illinois under the Biometric Information Privacy Act (BIPA) for collecting customers' biometric identifiers — including facial geometry captured through security cameras and payment system cameras — without obtaining the written consent and disclosure required by Illinois law. Illinois BIPA provides statutory damages of $1,000–$5,000 per violation, making these cases potentially very valuable for class members. If you shopped at a Target store in Illinois between 2017 and 2024, your biometric data may have been collected and stored without your knowledge. Check the settlement cards above for any open Target BIPA claims.

How to File a Target Settlement Claim

Target settlement claims vary in their documentation requirements. For the 2013 data breach, you need to confirm you shopped at Target during the breach window (November 27 to December 15, 2013) and used a credit or debit card. Receipts, bank statements, or credit card records from that period help but may not be required for all claim tiers. For pricing class actions, documented evidence of an overcharge (a receipt showing a price discrepancy) strengthens your claim. For BIPA cases, confirmation of your presence at an Illinois Target store during the class period is typically sufficient. Check each settlement card above for exact requirements and use the provided links to go directly to official settlement administrator websites.
