A new Capital One class action lawsuit alleges that the financial institution shares personal customer information with Meta, Google, Microsoft and other third parties without their consent.
Plaintiffs Vishal Shah, Gary Ingraham, Deia Williams, and Devin Rose filed the Capital One class action lawsuit. They did so to challenge the โoutrageous, illegal and widespread practiceโ of disclosing customersโ personal and financial information to unaffiliated third-party entities.
The plaintiffs claim Capital One implements code-based tracking devices into its website. Those disclose account information, credit card application information, which pages the customer visited and information entered on preapproval application pages.
โUpon information and belief, Capital One utilized data from trackers to improve and to save costs on its marketing campaigns, improve its data analytics, attract new customers and generate sales,โ the Capital One class action lawsuit alleges.
Capital One class action says customers do not expect personal data to be shared
The plaintiffs allege banking customers do not expect a trusted financial institution to send their personal and financial information to undisclosed third parties for profit. When they visited the financial institutionโs website, they say they believed they were communicating exclusively with Capital One.
The plaintiffs say Capital One did not disclose to website visitors and customers that it would share their personal and financial information with unaffiliated third-party entities. They claim they never signed written authorization to share their data and were never provided an opportunity to opt out.
The Capital One class action lawsuit asserts claims for negligence, negligence per se, invasion of privacy, violation of Californiaโs Comprehensive Computer Data Access and Fraud Act, Consumer Protection Law, Consumer Privacy Act, Customer Records Act, the federal Electronic Communications Privacy Act, Computer Fraud and Abuse Act, breach of express and implied contract, unjust enrichment and other claims.
Capital One recently settled a lawsuit with Walmart over allegations it failed to meet the customer service standards established in a 2018 contract between the two companies.

It is outrageous that Capital One has shared y financial information with ANYONE I have not given permission to! How do I find out if and what of my personal information has been shared and with who?
I am concerned about Capital One letting a third-party or revealing private information to google or other third parties hi Darren, Harmon never gave one permission to release to third-party
I may be qualified for this settlement. You can contact me at the email below.
Also I believe that Kabaton Sucharow took most of the settlement money for the T-Mobile Data Breach. Most of the claimants were given checks for $100-350, but there were only 40, 000 claimants to split %60 of 350,000,000. Theresa representative was actually laughing at me over the phone, though another and I talked about the numbers and agreed there was an obvious discrepancy. Each of us should have gotten over $4000.00.
They say they went to a private court, but they wonโt reveal which one or the judge(s) names. I believe they walked away with %98 of the settlement money. Can you help us?
