Class Action Complaint Filed Against Facebook for Tracking Logged-Out Users

In a case mirroring one we reported on recently filed in Arkansas, Facebook is facing another class action complaint regarding its tracking of users. According to the complaint, this time filed in Kansas, Facebook allegedly tracked, collected, and stored its users' wire or electronic communications, including their Internet browsing history even when the users were not logged-in to Facebook, without their consent. Plaintiffs argue that this conduct violates the Federal Wiretap Act, violated Facebook's privacy policy, and Kansas' Consumer Protection Act.

TIP: Continue to be vigilant in working with your website developers to understand what tracking tools are being employed on your sites, and where necessary, have clear disclosures about those activities.
