The U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit recently issued a decision that could have significant consequences for data privacy cases going forward. The class action is getting a lot of attention from legal experts and generating major headlines, such as “Black v. IEC Group: Important Data Privacy Ruling.” That’s because the federal appellate court reversed a lower court decision and held that a plaintiff can have Article III standing to sue even when the only harm alleged is the unauthorized disclosure of sensitive data.

Tauler Smith LLP secured a major courtroom win in a California trap & trace claim against Rad Power Bikes. The plaintiff, a California consumer, filed a class action lawsuit alleging that the e-bike company utilized TikTok tracking code on its website to deanonymize users by trapping and tracing their personal information. The digital privacy case is being heard in the U.S. District Court for the Central District of California, which recently ruled on a pre-trial motion filed by the Defendant.
