A nice summary by Angelo Stio and Robert A. Jenkin II of a significant 3rd Circuit "tracking technology" decision that goes to the heart of these CIPA claims. The court dismissed the case under the “party exception”. A key insight from the blogpost: ➡️ Specifically, the court determined that because the plaintiffs’ web browsers, and not [the Defendant], simultaneously transmitted the information to the pixel provider, the pixel provider was a party to the communication with each plaintiff. As a party to the communication, the court found that the pixel provider could not eavesdrop on its own communication under the party exception defense and dismissed the CIPA. ➡️ This appears to run counter to a 9th Circuit ruling on the same issue (so a split, which could set this up for the SCOTUS?). Interesting times, in this space ➡️ We are working with dozens of clients to help address these issues, including working with LOKKER to do scans and then remediate the tech and legal issues all at once.

LOKKER CEO Ian Cohen was featured in Healthcare Info Security's latest article: "Jury Holds Meta Accountable in 'Landmark' Privacy Decision." "Very few privacy lawsuits involving tracking technologies survive long enough to be certified as a class, let alone go to trial. The fact that Frasco did - and ended with a jury finding against Meta - is a strong sign that these claims can resonate with both judges and jurors when supported by clear technical evidence." This pivotal case reinforces the growing importance of implementing strong privacy controls across an organization’s entire tech stack.

This article should really drive home how imperative it is to monitor third-party data collection and sharing continuously. Ad tech changes continuously; detection and monitoring have to do the same. This is really serious. I’m sorry for the individuals affected. Kudos to The Markup on the article. #privacy #dataprivacy https://lnkd.in/g5H2w8Eh
