Privacy Lawsuits
“There is no guarantee that organizations will protect your personal information as much as you’d like.” (USA.gov)
Data breach numbers are shocking: according to the Identity Theft Resource Center, there were 1,862 data breaches in 2021 (68% more than in 2020). However, data breaches are not the only privacy issue people face daily. Employers still collect biometric data from staff without following specific notice and consent requirements, years after Illinois’ Biometric Information Privacy Act was signed into law. Many websites and streaming services shared consumers’ information with Facebook without their knowledge or consent, violating the Video Privacy Protection Act.

“As your data gets passed around between countless third parties, there aren’t just more companies profiting from your data, but also more possibilities for your data to be leaked or breached in a way that causes real harm.” (Wirecutter)
