Illinois Supreme Court rules in favor of class action against company’s practice of scanning people s fingers when they enter amusement parks. Theme park operator Six Flags has agreed to pay $36 million to settle a class-action lawsuit over its acquisition of the fingerprint data of visitors to its theme parks. The case involved a mother, Stacy Rosenbach, who in 2016 sued Six Flags Entertainment Corp. after the Gurnee, Illinois, branch of the theme park scanned the fingerprint of her 14-year-old son Alex without obtaining written consent.
