How website tracking could put your personal data at risk
Did a medical spa or dermatology clinic collect your personal information without consent? If you visited a med spa or dermatology clinic website, your data may have been tracked without your knowledge. Fill out the form now to see if you qualify for a data privacy class action lawsuit.
Medical spas and dermatology clinics offer a variety of cosmetic procedures, including injectables, laser treatments, and more. Because many of these treatments are considered medical procedures, these clinics are legally required to keep client information confidential.
However, some med spas and dermatology clinics use tracking tools on their websites to collect detailed data about site visitors — such as IP addresses, location information and browsing behavior — often without providing notice or obtaining consent. This may violate federal and state privacy laws.
If you opened an email from or visited the website of a med spa or dermatology clinic, your data privacy could have been compromised, and you may be eligible to take legal action. A class action lawsuit investigation is currently looking into potential privacy violations at the following clinics:
- Allure Medical
- Beverly Hills Med Spa
- California Skin Institute
- Forefront Dermatology
- Ideal Image
- Laser Away
- Novuskin
- Ritacca Cosmetic Surgery & Medspa
- Sanova Dermatology
- Schweiger Dermatology Group
- Spavia Day Spa
- U.S. Dermatology Partners

What are tracking pixels, and how do they affect your privacy?
Tracking pixels are tiny image files embedded in websites or emails. While they are often invisible to the naked eye, these tools are powerful website tracking devices that enable med spas and dermatology clinics to monitor user behavior, track clicks, record page visits, and gather detailed information about online activity.
What makes tracking pixels particularly concerning is their covert nature. They blend seamlessly into web pages and emails, making them nearly undetectable to most users. Many businesses use these tools to collect personal information without consent, potentially compromising your privacy.
CCPA: Understanding California’s privacy protections
The California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) gives state residents greater control over their personal data, including how businesses collect, use and share their information. Key rights under the CCPA include:
- The right to know what personal data is being collected, how it is used and if it is shared
- The right to request deletion of personal information
- The right to opt out of the sale or sharing of personal data
- The right to correct inaccurate personal information
- The right to limit the use or disclosure of sensitive information
Under the CCPA, businesses must clearly disclose how they collect and use personal information and provide users with the option to opt out. Using tracking pixels without notifying users or obtaining proper consent may represent a violation of California data privacy laws.
Federal protections for data collection and website tracking
The Federal Trade Commission (FTC) Act protects consumers from unfair or deceptive business practices, including a lack of transparency when companies collect or share personal information. If a medical spa or dermatology clinic uses tracking pixels to share personal information with third parties without clear disclosure or user consent, it may be violating federal law.
In addition, many med spas may be subject to the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA). HIPAA protects sensitive health information and requires covered entities to follow strict rules regarding the collection, storage and disclosure of data. Sharing health-related information — such as appointment details or treatment inquiries — without consent may constitute a HIPAA violation.
