Gucci Credit Card Act Class Action Settlement

Gucci America Inc. has agreed to settle a class action lawsuit stemming over allegations that the luxury retailer violated the Credit Card Act by asking and recording personal information of customers at the point of sale.

Lead plaintiff Jessica Manner filed the class action lawsuit claiming that Gucci asks for mailing addresses, phone numbers and email addresses without reason.

“There is no legitimate need for Defendants to collect this information from credit card customers in order to complete the credit card transaction. Instead, Defendants use the unlawfully obtained  personal identification information for their own business purposes,” the plaintiff claimed in the Gucci class action lawsuit.

Gucci denies all allegations and any liability but agreed to the settlement to avoid the cost of further litigation.

Class Members who wish to be excluded from the Gucci settlement must do so by June 14, 2016.

UPDATE: On Oct. 14, 2016, a federal judge granted final approval of the Gucci credit card act class action settlement.
