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.

I am a customer of capital one and at least the last two statements had charges on them I did not authorized, nor received any type of service or product for these charges, this had been extremely more of an difficult situation since I had been not receiving my alimony check, which is my only small form of support, and these charges and the money that is vital to my living expenses and being even less do to not receiving it the small amount I get, I had tried to contact the bank and provide proff that I didnโt make these purchases so I can get refund and they direct me to the โsuppose website โ witch I had and they state I have no account or purchases history with them.
Please add me to tihis! I am a capital one customer and have been receiving email concerning loan approvals. Companies (scams) emailing concerning purchases that I did not make.
