EAST ST. LOUIS – Kellin Johns, who led a successful class action against Club Fitness for invading the privacy of fingerprints, proposes to lead one against the maker of the club’s timekeeping device.
Device maker Paycor has moved to dismiss the action, arguing that Johns can’t recover damages from different defendants for the same conduct.
Johns argues that Club Fitness and Paycor committed distinct violations of Illinois biometric privacy law.
The dispute remains open before U.S. District Judge David Dugan.
Johns sued Club Fitness in Madison County circuit court in 2018, claiming it disseminated data without consent or written releases.
