california southern district court

California healthcare provider TrueCare was sued for sharing user health data without consent. Now, a federal court has ruled that the class action lawsuit can proceed. TrueCare operates a website, https://truecare.org/, that patients visit to get information and schedule appointments. When patients fill out forms on the website, they expect that their personal data will remain confidential. However, the company allegedly used pixel-tracking software to collect user data.

Adidas has been accused of violating the California Invasion of Privacy Act (CIPA) by installing tracking pixels on its website: “small, almost-invisible images embedded on the website to track a user’s activities.” The footwear and sports apparel company was sued in a class action filed in the California Southern District Court. Now, a ruling has come down from the court: CIPA lawsuit against Adidas can proceed.
