A proposed settlement has been reached in a class action lawsuit that claims Charlotte
Tilbury Beauty Inc. ("Charlotte Tilbury Beauty" or "Defendant") unlawfully collected, stored, and used individuals' biometric facial geometry while they used a beauty tech tool or other virtual try on tool on Charlotte Tilbury Beauty's website or mobile application within the state of Illinois.
The case is Halim v. Charlotte Tilbury Beauty Inc., et al., Case No. 2022-CH-11832, pending in the Circuit Court of Cook County, Illinois, before the Honorable Sophia H. Hall.

to avoid the
time
and expense of
litigation,
the
parties have agreed to settle the lawsuit. That Settlement has been preliminarily approved.
