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.

Attorneys with Los Angeles consumer protection law firm Tauler Smith LLP recently secured a favorable judgment in a digital privacy lawsuit: Tauler Smith obtains judgment in Peer39 CDAFA case. U.S.-based digital advertising company Peer39 was sued in a California court for allegedly collecting customers’ personal information without permission and then selling it to data brokers.
