A Court authorized this Settlement Website because you have a right to know about a proposed Settlement of this class action and about all of your options, before the Court decides whether to give final approval to the Settlement. This Settlement Website explains the Action, the Settlement, and your legal rights.
The Honorable Melissa Polo, of the Circuit Court for the 13th Judicial Circuit, Hillsborough County, Florida, is overseeing this Action. The lawsuit is called Cumor, Dunn v. European Wax Center, Inc., Case No. 26-CA-002430. The people who have sued are called the “Plaintiffs.” The entity being sued, European Wax Center, Inc., is called the “Defendant.”
In a class action, one or more people called the “Class Representatives” (in this case, Plaintiffs, Jason Cumor and Sydney Dunn) sue on behalf of a group or a “Class” or “Settlement Class” of people whom the Plaintiffs allege to have similar legal claims. In a class action, the court resolves the issues for all “Settlement Class Members,” except for those who exclude themselves from the Settlement Class.
The material allegations of the complaint relate to the Defendant’s alleged disclosure of information to third parties via pixels, cookies, code, and/or tracking or analytics tools on the Defendant’s website. The Plaintiffs claim this violated the Electronic Communication Privacy Act, 18 U.S.C. § 2511, et seq., Florida Security of Communications Act, Fla. Stat. § 934.03, et seq., California Invasion of Privacy Act, Cal. Penal Code § 631, and invasion of privacy.
At all times, the Defendant has denied and continues to deny any wrongdoing whatsoever and has denied and continues to deny that it committed, or threatened or attempted to commit, any wrongful act or violation of law or duty alleged in the Action. Nonetheless, taking into account the costs, distraction to business operations, and uncertainty inherent in any litigation, the Defendant has concluded it is desirable and beneficial that the Action be fully and finally settled and terminated in the manner and upon the terms and conditions set forth in the Settlement Agreement. The Settlement Agreement is a compromise, and the Settlement Agreement, any related documents, and any negotiations resulting in it shall not be construed as or deemed to be evidence of or an admission or concession of liability or wrongdoing on the part of the Defendant, or any of the Released Parties, with respect to any claim of any fault or liability or wrongdoing or damage whatsoever.
The Court has not decided who is right. Rather, the Parties have agreed to settle the Action to avoid the uncertainties and expenses associated with ongoing litigation.
The Court has not decided whether the Plaintiffs or Defendant should win this Action. Instead, the Plaintiffs and Defendant have both agreed to a Settlement. The Plaintiffs and the lawyers for the Settlement Class (“Class Counsel”) believe the Settlement is best for all Settlement Class Members because of the benefits of the Settlement and the risks and uncertainty associated with continued litigation.
The Settlement Class is defined as: “all U.S. residents who visited www.waxcenter.com, including, but not limited to, those who booked an appointment on www.waxcenter.com, from June 30, 2023 through April 2, 2026.”
Yes. Excluded from the Settlement Class are (1) any Judge or Magistrate presiding over this Action and members of their families; (2) the Defendant, its subsidiaries, parent companies, successors, predecessors, and any entity in which Defendant or its 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 Settlement Class; and (4) the legal representatives, successors, or assigns of any such excluded persons.
If you are still not sure whether you are a Settlement Class Member, contact us or call the Settlement Administrator toll-free at (833) 447-6949.
Settlement Class Members who file a valid Claim Form can receive a Cash Payment of up to $10.00.
According to the Settlement Agreement, a Settlement Fund of up to $5 million will be used to pay for the following: (1) Notice and Other Settlement Administration Expenses; (2) the Fee Award for attorneys’ fees, costs, and expenses for Class Counsel, as may be approved by the Court; (3) Service Awards to the Class Representatives; and (4) up to a $10.00 Cash Payment to each Settlement Class Member who submits an Approved Claim. The Cash Payment will depend on the number of Approved Claims and may be reduced pro rata (a legal term meaning equal share) if the total value of all Approved Claims exceeds the funds available for distribution to Settlement Class Members.
If you are a Settlement Class Member and you want to receive a Cash Payment, you must complete and submit a Claim Form postmarked or submitted online by June 30, 2026. Claim Forms can be submitted on this Settlement Website, or by printing and mailing a paper Claim Form, copies of which can be downloaded on the Important Documents page of this Settlement Website. Settlement Class Members are encouraged to submit their Claims online.
The Court will hold a hearing to consider the fairness of the Settlement. If the Court approves the Settlement, eligible Settlement Class Members whose Claims are approved by the Settlement Administrator will receive their Cash Payment after the Settlement is finally approved and/or any appeals process is complete.
If the Settlement becomes final, you will give up (or “release”) your rights to sue the Defendant and the Released Parties regarding the Released Claims, which are described and defined in the Settlement Agreement. Unless you exclude yourself, you will release the Released Claims, regardless of whether you submit a Claim Form or not. The Settlement Agreement is available on the Important Documents page of this Settlement Website.
The Settlement Agreement describes the Released Claims in necessary legal terminology, so please read this information carefully. If you have any questions you may speak to Class Counsel for free or you may speak to your own lawyer at your own expense.
If you remain in the Settlement Class, you will be bound by all of the Court’s orders and judgments.
If you do nothing, you will not receive a Cash Payment from this Settlement. Also, if you do not exclude yourself, you will be unable to start a lawsuit or be part of any other lawsuit brought against the Defendant or Released Parties regarding the Released Claims in this lawsuit.
The Court has appointed Sarah Westcot, Alec Leslie, and Stephen Beck of Bursor & Fisher, P.A. to be the lawyers representing the Settlement Class as Class Counsel. After conducting an extensive investigation, they believe the Settlement Agreement is fair, reasonable, and in the best interests of the Settlement Class. You will not be charged for these lawyers. If you want to be represented by your own lawyer in this case, you may hire one at your own expense.
Class Counsel’s attorneys’ fees, costs, and expenses will be paid from the Settlement Fund in an amount determined and awarded by the Court. Class Counsel will ask for no more than $1,666,666.67, but the Court may award less than this amount.
Class Counsel may also seek Service Awards of up to $2,500.00 for each of the Class Representatives for their service in helping to bring and settle the case. The Service Awards will be paid out of the Settlement Fund, but the Court may award less than this amount.

Objecting simply means telling the Court that you do not like something about the Settlement. You can object only if you stay in the Settlement Class. Excluding yourself from the Settlement Class is telling the Court that you do not want to be part of the Settlement Class. If you exclude yourself, you have no right to object or file a Claim Form because the lawsuit no longer affects you.
The Court will hold a Final Approval Hearing on July 15, 2026 at 9:30 a.m. ET. 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 Settlement Class; to consider the Class Counsel’s request for attorneys’ fees and expenses; and to consider the request for Service Awards to the Class Representatives. 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 Settlement Website or call (833) 447-6949 to confirm the date and time. If, however, you timely objected to the Settlement and advised the Court that you intend to appear and speak at the Final Approval Hearing, you will receive notice of any change in the date of the Final Approval Hearing.
No. Class Counsel will answer any questions the Court may have. You are welcome to attend at your own expense. If you send an objection or comment, you do not have to attend the hearing to talk about it. If you file and mail your written objection on time, the Court will consider it. You may also hire your own lawyer (at your own expense) to attend the hearing, but it is not required.
Yes. You may ask the Court for permission to speak at the Final Approval Hearing. If you objected to the Settlement and intend to appear at the Final Approval Hearing (at your own expense and either with or without counsel), you must file notice of an intention to appear with the Clerk of the Court and at the same time file copies of any papers you propose to be submitted at the Final Approval Hearing. Alternatively, if you object and are represented by your own lawyer, you may file your objection and intent to appear at the Final Approval Hearing through the Court’s E-Filing Portal, and send copies of your papers by mail or otherwise deliver copies to Class Counsel and Defendant’s Counsel at the addresses in Question 19.
