MUBI VPPA Claims | Video Privacy Protection Act

MUBI VPPA Claims | Video Privacy Protection Act

Peiffer Wolf is currently investigating MUBI and MUBI GO for allegedly violating the Video Privacy Protection Act (VPPA). We believe that MUBI and MUBI GO may have been secretly tracking video content viewed on mubi.com and then sharing the viewers’ private and sensitive data with Facebook and parent company Meta. 

 If you are a MUBI or MUBI GO subscriber or had a subscription within the past two years, you may be eligible to file a claim. Please contact Peiffer Wolf by filling out an online contact form or by calling 314-669-3600 for a FREE Consultation.

VPPA | What you should know

When VPPA was signed into law in 1988, streaming services and websites with video content were still in the distant future. Once it became clear that the law needed to be adapted to current times, an amendment act was introduced in 2012. HR 6671 became public law in 2013.

The amended law clarified that “a video tape service provider may obtain a consumer’s informed, written consent on an ongoing basis and that consent may be obtained through the Internet.”

Even with the option to obtain the consumer’s consent through the internet, some websites allegedly choose to share their consumer’s personal information with companies including Meta, Google, etc. without their permission.

Typically, we represent clients on contingency fee agreements. If we take your case under a contingency fee arrangement, you won’t owe our firm any legal fees unless we are able to recover money for you.

Our contingency fee agreements are usually based on a percentage of the amount we recover for our clients. The contingency fee amount is determined by the type of case, our estimate of how long it will take to resolve your case, and our estimate of the litigation costs we will advance in your case. Each engagement agreement includes the details of the fee arrangement. Questions about our fee agreements are welcomed and encouraged.

In most litigation matters, it is extremely difficult – practically impossible – to predict how long it will take to resolve a particular case. Every case is different, and we will do our best to provide you with an estimate based on your case and our experience with similar cases. Moreover, we will do our best to keep you updated and manage expectations along the way.
