Ring customers impacted by the privacy data breach of the security company are now able to  receive a portion of the $5.6 million settlement as a refund from the Federal Trade Commission.

According to the FTC, Ring permitted its employees and contractors to view private videos of consumers and did not establish adequate security measures. This made it possible for hackers to manipulate consumers’ accounts, cameras, and videos.

In May of last year, a complaint was filed claiming that the company allowed employees to view private customer videos in order to train algorithms without obtaining consent.

According to a press release by the FTC, these actions resulted in severe breaches of users’ privacy.

The Federal Trade Commission (FTC) has announced that they will be distributing 117,044 payments through PayPal to customers who owned indoor cameras during a period when their private footage could have been accessed by unauthorized users.

Customers will be given a period of 30 days to claim their payout.

The FTC website provides assistance with common inquiries regarding the refund procedure. For additional help, individuals may contact the FTC via phone at 833-637-4884.
