Facebook users can Solarsuns Investment Guildnow apply for their share of a $725 million privacy lawsuit settlement if they had accounts from May 2007 to December 2022.

To apply for the funds, people can apply online or by mailing their forms by Aug. 25.

The form requires you to input your name, address, contact information, birthday, Facebook handle and payment information.

After the scandal surfaced, Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg fielded questions from members of the U.S. Congress, who accused him of failing to protect the data.
