Grubor, et al., v. Barefoot Dreams, Inc.

A Court authorized this website and Notice because you have a right to know about a proposed Settlement of this class action lawsuit and about all of your options before the Court decides whether to give final approval to the Settlement. The Notice explains the lawsuit, the Settlement, and your legal rights.

The case is called Grubor et al. v. Barefoot Dreams, Inc., Case No. CACE26003507, pending in the Circuit Court of the Seventeenth Judicial Circuit for Broward County, Florida. The individuals who sued are called the Plaintiffs. The Defendant is Barefoot Dreams, Inc.

In a class action, one or more people called the class representative (in this case, Abby Grubor and Juliette Blatt) sue on behalf of a group or a “class” of people who have similar claims. In a class action, the court resolves the issues for all class members, except for those who exclude themselves from the Class.

This lawsuit claims that Defendant violated the Florida Security of Communications Act, Fla. Stat. § 934.03, et seq.; the Electronic Communications Privacy Act, 18 U.S.C. § 2511, et seq.; the California Invasion of Privacy Act, Cal. Penal Code § 631–632; the Comprehensive Computer Data Access and Fraud Act, Cal. Penal Code § 502; and the California Constitution by disclosing their customers’ personally identifiable information (“PII”) to third parties via third party tracking, analytics, and/or advertising technologies without consent. The Defendant denies all of Plaintiffs’ claims in the lawsuit and maintains that it did nothing wrong.

This matter has not gone to trial and the Court has not decided in favor of either Plaintiffs or Defendant. Plaintiffs and Defendants do not agree regarding the merits of Plaintiffs’ allegations and recovery if Plaintiffs were to prevail at trial on each claim. By agreeing to settle, both sides avoid the cost and risk of a trial, and people who submit valid timely claims will get compensation. The Representative Plaintiffs and their attorneys believe the settlement is fair, reasonable, and adequate and, thus, best for the Settlement Class and its members. The settlement does NOT mean that Defendant did anything wrong.

The Settlement Class is defined as:

All United States residents who purchased a product from www.barefootdreams.com or any of Defendant’s associated URLs from October 14, 2023, to and through June 1, 2026. Excluded from the Settlement Class are (1) any Judge or Magistrate presiding over this Action and members of their families; (2) the Defendant, their subsidiaries, parent companies, successors, predecessors, and any entity in which the Defendant or their parents have a controlling interest and their current or former officers, directors, agents, attorneys, and employees; (3) persons who properly execute and file a timely request for exclusion from the class; (4) any persons who have released claims relating to the Action; and (5) the legal representatives, successors or assigns of any such excluded persons.

Each Settlement Class Member who files a valid claim will receive a cash payment of $8.00, subject to Court approval. In addition, Defendant has agreed to pay the costs of notice and administration of the settlement, approved attorneys’ fees and costs to Class Counsel, and service awards to the Class Representatives.

A detailed description of the settlement benefits can be found in the Settlement Agreement available here.

You must submit a Settlement Claim Form (see instructions below) to receive payment. If you submit a valid Settlement Claim Form, you will receive an $8.00 cash payment.

You must provide proof of your Settlement Class membership when filing a claim by providing the Unique ID and PIN that are located on the notice you received by email. If for some reason you did not receive this information, but believe you are a Settlement Class Member, please call 1-877-417-7449 to verify your identity and receive further information on how to file a claim.

The hearing to consider the fairness of the settlement is scheduled for August 17, 2026. If the Court approves the settlement, eligible Class Members whose claims were approved by the Settlement Administrator will receive their payment 30 days after the Settlement has been finally approved and any appeals process is complete. The payment will be made in the form of an electronic payment by either PayPal, Venmo, or Zelle. If you are unable to receive payment through an electronic method, you may select to receive your cash payment by check. All checks will expire and become void 180 days after they are issued.

To help ensure the timely delivery of payments, Class Members are requested to promptly notify the Settlement Administrator of any changes to their mailing or email address. Failure to keep address information current may result in delays in receiving payment.

You must complete and submit a Settlement Claim Form to receive payment. You may submit a Settlement Claim Form electronically on the Settlement Website by clicking here. Settlement Claim Forms must be submitted online by 11:59 p.m. EST on July 31, 2026, or postmarked and mailed by July 31, 2026 to Barefoot Dreams Privacy Settlement Administrator, PO Box 3127, Portland, OR 97208-3127.

The Claims Administrator will process your claim and determine whether you are an Authorized Claimant. Please contact the Claims Administrator if you disagree with any determinations made by the Claims Administrator regarding your Proof of Claim. If you are unsatisfied with the determinations, you may ask the Court, which retains jurisdiction over all Settlement Class Members and the claims-administration process, to decide the issue by submitting a written request.

If the Settlement becomes final, you will give up your right to sue Defendant for the claims this Settlement resolves. The Settlement Agreement describes the specific claims you are giving up against the Defendant. You will be “releasing” the Defendant and certain of their affiliates described in Section 1.33 of the Settlement Agreement. Unless you exclude yourself (see FAQ 14), you are “releasing” the claims, regardless of whether you submit a claim or not. It means that all of the Court’s orders will apply to you and legally bind you. The Settlement Agreement is available through the “court documents” link on the website and also available here.

The Settlement Agreement describes the released claims with specific descriptions, so read it carefully. If you have any questions you can talk to the lawyers listed in FAQ 12 for free or you can, of course, talk to your own lawyer if you have questions about what this means.

If you do nothing, you won’t get any benefits from this Settlement. But, unless you exclude yourself, you won’t be able to start a lawsuit or be part of any other lawsuit against the Defendant or the Released Parties (as defined in the Settlement Agreement) for the claims being resolved by this Settlement.

The Court has appointed Stephen Beck and Philip Fraietta of Bursor & Fisher P.A. to be the attorneys representing the Settlement Class. They are called “Class Counsel.” They believe, after conducting an extensive investigation, that the Settlement Agreement is fair, reasonable, and in the best interests of the Settlement Class. You will not be charged for this lawyer. If you want to be represented by your own lawyer in this case, you may hire one at your expense.

Class Counsel’s attorneys’ fees, costs, and expenses will be paid by Defendant out of the Settlement Fund and awarded by the Court. Class Counsel is entitled to seek no more than one-third of the Settlement Fund, but the Court may award less than this amount.

As approved by the Court, the Class Representatives will apply to be paid a service award paid by Defendant out of the Settlement Fund for helping to bring and settle the case. Class Representatives Abby Grubor and Juliette Blatt may seek up to $5,000 each as a service award, but the Court may award less than this amount.

To exclude yourself from the Settlement, you must mail or otherwise deliver a letter (or request for exclusion) stating that you want to be excluded from the Grubor, et al., v. Barefoot Dreams, Inc., Case No. CACE26003507 settlement. Your letter or request for exclusion must also include your name, your address, your signature, the name and number of this case, and a statement that you wish to be excluded. You must mail or deliver your exclusion request no later than July 31, 2026, to:

Barefoot Dreams Privacy
Settlement Administrator
PO Box 3127
Portland, OR 97208-3127

You cannot exclude yourself by telephone or by email.

If you properly exclude yourself, you will not receive a payment from the Net Settlement Fund, you cannot object to the Settlement, and you will not be legally bound by the judgment in this case.

No. Unless you exclude yourself, you give up any right to sue the Defendant for the claims being resolved by this Settlement.

No. If you exclude yourself, you will not be entitled to any benefits of the settlement, and you should not submit a Settlement Claim Form to ask for benefits

If you’re a Class Member, you can object to the Settlement if you don’t like any part of it. You can give reasons why you think the Court should not approve it. The Court will consider your views. To object, you must file with the Court a letter or brief stating that you object to the Settlement in Blatt, et al., v. Barefoot Dreams, Inc., Case No. CACE26003507, and identify all your reasons for your objections (including citations and supporting evidence) and attach any materials you rely on for your objections. Your letter or brief must also include your name, an explanation of the basis upon which you claim to be a Settlement Class Member, the name and contact information of any and all attorneys representing, advising, or in any way assisting you in connection with your objection, and your signature. If you, or an attorney assisting you with your objection, have ever objected to any class action settlement where you or the objecting attorney has asked for or received payment in exchange for dismissal of the objection (or any related appeal) without modification to the settlement, you must include a statement in your objection identifying each such case by full case caption. You must also mail or deliver a copy of your letter or brief to Class Counsel and Defendant’s Counsel listed below.

Class Counsel will file with the Court and post on this website its request for attorneys’ fees by July 15, 2026.

If you want to appear and speak at the Final Approval Hearing to object to the Settlement, with or without a lawyer (explained below in answer to Question Number 21), you must say so in your letter or brief. File the objection with the Court and mail a copy to these two different places postmarked no later than July 31, 2026.

Objecting simply means telling the Court that you don’t like something about the Settlement. You can object only if you stay in the Class. Excluding yourself from the Class is telling the Court that you don’t want to be part of the Class. If you exclude yourself, you have no basis to object because the case no longer affects you.

The Court will hold the Final Approval Hearing on August 17, 2026, in WW-15170 at the Broward County Courthouse located at 201 S.E. 6th Street, Fort Lauderdale, FL 33301-3303, or by Zoom webinar. The purpose of the hearing will be for the Court to determine whether to approve the Settlement as fair, reasonable, adequate, and in the best interests of the Class; to consider the Class Counsel’s request for attorneys’ fees and expenses; and to consider the request for a service award to the Class Representative. At that hearing, the Court will be available to hear any objections and arguments concerning the fairness of the Settlement.

The hearing may be postponed to a different date or time without notice, so it is a good idea to check this website or call 1-877-417-7449.

No. Class Counsel will answer any questions the Court may have. But you are welcome to come at your own expense. If you send an objection or comment, you don’t have to come to Court to talk about it. As long as you filed and mailed your written objection on time, the Court will consider it. You may also pay another lawyer to attend, but it’s not required.

You may ask the Court for permission to speak at the Final Approval Hearing. To do so, you must include in your letter or brief objecting to the settlement a statement saying that it is your “Notice of Intent to Appear in Grubor, et al. v. Barefoot Dreams, Inc., Case No. CACE26003507.” It must include your name, address, telephone number and signature as well as the name and address of your lawyer, if one is appearing for you. Your objection and notice of intent to appear must be filed with the Court and postmarked no later than July 31, 2026, and be sent to the addresses listed in FAQ 17.
