ClassAction.org Newsletter Archive

Data privacy is still the name of the game here at ClassAction.org. So, in this week’s issue of our newsletter, we have another handful of data breach investigations.

This week, we’re taking a break from data privacy cases and opening up this week’s newsletter with a couple of new investigations on other topics.

This issue is all about data security and how some companies may have failed to safeguard their customers’ and patients’ private data.

To kick things off, business owners may have been paying thousands of dollars more than they should have due to AMEX’s potentially illegal rules against merchants surcharging customers or “steering” them toward cards with lower swipe fees.

Data security problems have become all too common in our day and age – and that fact is illustrated by the contents of this week’s newsletter.

We’ll open this issue with a couple of websites that may not have been forthcoming with how they handle your personal data – specifically which videos you’ve been watching.

From food preparation to cleanup, today’s issue primarily focuses on items commonly found around the house.

We’re opening this issue with an investigation into Uber and whether the rideshare company sent out millions of text messages without consent from recipients – specifically, those who didn’t have an Uber account set up.

In this issue, we’ll cover a couple of settlement sites that just recently went live – one from Facebook over location tracking and one from Turkish Airlines over flight cancellations.

If you or a family member was injured by a port-a-cath, manufacturing companies may owe you for medical costs and more. It’s believed that the companies who manufacture these devices may have known about a serious defect in the products.

We open this issue with a story on leaky water heaters and the potential defect that may be plaguing certain A.O. Smith models.

This week’s newsletter focuses on two issues that have become increasingly prevalent in recent months – how companies handle our data and whether toxic chemicals are being used in everyday products.
