Delta class action claims airline shares customer information with Facebook

Delta data privacy class action lawsuit overview: 

• Who: Eternada Fudge and Reyhaneh Mansoori filed a class action lawsuit against Delta Air Lines Inc. 
• Why: Fudge and Mansoori claim Delta broke its contract with consumers by unlawfully sharing their personal information with Facebook parent company Meta Platforms. 
• Where: The Delta Facebook class action lawsuit was filed in the Los Angeles County Superior Court in California. 

Delta Air Lines unlawfully disclosed the information of its customers with Facebook, a new class action lawsuit claims. 

Plaintiffs Eternada Fudge and Reyhaneh Mansoori’s class action lawsuit claims Delta Air Lines broke its contract with consumers by installing a tracking pixel on its website that discloses the personal information of its customers with Facebook parent company Meta Platforms. 

“Defendant’s sharing of this personal and identifying information with Facebook is in breach of the Conditions of Carriage and incorporated Privacy Policy to which Plaintiffs and Class Members agreed,” the Delta data privacy class action states. 

Fudge and Mansoori want to represent a nationwide class and California subclass of consumers who were registered Facebook users and who provided their personal information to Delta using www.delta.com while purchasing airfare and had that information shared with Facebook. 

Delta class action claims airline broke promise to customers not to sell their personal information

Fudge and Mansoori argue Delta broke a promise to its customers that the airline would not sell their name or other personal information to third parties. 

The personal information shared by Delta with Facebook includes departure dates and airports, arrival dates and airports, travel classes and number of travelers, loyalty statuses and language and currency used by customers, the Delta class action alleges. 

In addition to allegedly breaching its contract with consumers, Fudge and Mansoori claim Delta is guilty of violating the California Invasion of Privacy Act. 

The plaintiffs demand a jury trial and request declaratory and injunctive relief and an award of punitive damages and actual, statutory or nominal damages for themselves and all class members. 

A consumer filed a separate class action lawsuit against Delta in May 2023 over allegations the airline misrepresented the total environmental impact of its business operations by claiming to be “carbon neutral.”
