A new class action lawsuit alleges Disney illegally installed tracking software on its website without first obtaining users’ consent.
Plaintiff John Tasker claims Disney installed and operates tracking software on its website without providing users with adequate notice or obtaining their informed consent.
The software is intentionally deployed to accomplish Disney’s commercial objectives, including identity resolution, targeted advertising and the monetization of consumer data, Tasker argues.
“Defendant aids, employs, agrees and conspires with the third parties by enabling the trackers, which transmit user data to third-party servers to identify users and support advertising, profiling and data monetization activities,” the Disney class action lawsuit states.
Tasker wants to represent a California class of individuals who accessed and used Disney’s website during the relevant statute of limitations period.
Disney allegedly tracks user data, including IP addresses
The class action lawsuit claims Disney violated California’s Invasion of Privacy Act (CIPA) by installing tracking software that captures detailed information about users’ electronic communications, including IP addresses.
“Plaintiff and the Class Members did not consent to the installation, execution, embedding or injection of the trackers on their devices and did not expect their behavioral data to be disclosed or monetized in this way,” the Disney class action lawsuit argues.
Tasker demands a jury trial and requests declaratory and injunctive relief and an award of statutory damages for himself and all class members.
Recently, Disney agreed to a $10 million settlement to resolve allegations it violated the Children’s Online Privacy Protection Rule by failing to properly label certain YouTube videos as “made for kids.”
