MichaelKors.com Sharing Your Data?

Signing up for the KORSVIP program earns you free shipping, an annual gift, access to special events and more, but according to attorneys, it may also mean that your purchase and browsing history on MichaelKors.com could be getting tracked and shared with third parties.

Attorneys believe the luxury fashion retailer may have installed certain tracking software on its website that has the potential to secretly collect information about users as they browse handbags, clothing, accessories and any other content on the site. It’s possible that users’ browsing and purchase histories are then being shared with payment processing company PayPal, even if that service is not used when making a purchase. The attorneys believe these suspected data-sharing practices may violate state and federal privacy laws.

The attorneys believe MichaelKors.com’s suspected data sharing practices may violate state and federal privacy laws, and they’re now gathering customers to take action via mass arbitration.

TaylorMade Privacy Investigation

Buying TaylorMade, whose golf equipment is used by the likes of Tiger Woods, Rory McIlroy and Scottie Scheffler, comes at a cost—and it may not be just in dollars. Attorneys believe TaylorMadeGolf.com could be violating users’ privacy by tracking and sharing their personal information.

Specifically, the attorneys suspect that TaylorMade’s website may be embedded with tracking software from analytics company Quantum Metric that records visitors’ actions, including any information they enter during the checkout process. Thus, it’s possible that when a consumer makes a purchase on TaylorMadeGolf.com, their billing address, credit card details and other personal information could be getting shared with Quantum Metric.

The attorneys believe TaylorMade may have violated state and federal privacy laws and are now gathering customers to take action via mass arbitration.

Zappos.com Investigation Looks into Possible Privacy Violations

Zappos.com has been selling shoes online for over 25 years, but attorneys believe the retailer may have more recently tapped into a new market: harvesting your data.

They suspect that Zappos.com may use an invisible pixel to automatically track visitors as they browse the site and make purchases. It’s possible that personal details about shoppers’ online activities may then be shared with online payment company PayPal, regardless of whether they use the service to check out or even make a purchase.

The attorneys believe Zappos.com may carry out its suspected data-sharing practices without permission from website users and in violation of state privacy laws. They’re now gathering affected consumers to pursue mass arbitration against the retailer.

Attorneys Investigate Venus.com for Suspected Data Sharing

Venus.com offers the latest in women’s clothing and swimwear, but it’s possible that browsing the online store may not be as private as you think.

Attorneys have reason to believe the retailer may be using a tracking tool on its website to secretly record private information about users, including which products they view, add to their shopping cart and purchase. They suspect Venus.com collects these details to send to PayPal without consumers’ knowledge or permission.

The attorneys are now gathering consumers to take legal action against the company over possible violations of certain state privacy laws.

Did Asics.com Violate Your Privacy?

Asics is an acronym for a Latin phrase that means “a sound mind in a sound body,” but customers may not have quite as sound a mind upon learning that their privacy may have been violated.

Attorneys have reason to believe that the Japanese sneaker and sportswear company may be using a tracking tool from PayPal on Asics.com to record and share users’ browsing and purchase information with the payment platform. In particular, the tracking software may be collecting and sharing data about which products users view and purchase along with their personal information—even if the user only added items to their cart without completing the purchase.

Now, attorneys are gathering Asics.com customers to take legal action over these potential privacy violations. If you had an Asics.com account, live in California, Pennsylvania, Washington, Florida or Massachusetts, and made a purchase or left items in your shopping cart on the website within the past two years, join others taking action by filling out the form linked below.

Carters.com Customers: Was Your Privacy Violated?

Taking your kids clothes shopping may not always be a pleasant experience—but shopping online on Carters.com, though perhaps more convenient, could potentially come with its own hidden risks.

Attorneys working with ClassAction.org have reason to believe that Carters.com, the official website for children’s apparel giant Carter’s, Inc., may be using tracking software to secretly record shoppers’ actions, including which products they browse and purchase. Specifically, they suspect that when a customer logs into their Carters.com account and adds an item to their cart or makes a purchase, details about their virtual shopping trip may be getting shared with online payment platform PayPal. In other words, it’s possible that PayPal could be learning private information about consumers—such as the ages of the children they shop for—through the tracking software on Carters.com.

If you live in California, Pennsylvania, Washington, Florida or Massachusetts, have an account with Carters.com, and purchased or added an item to your shopping cart on the website in the past two years, join others taking legal action against the retailer.

Many sports fans have turned to Fanatics.com to buy official apparel, merchandise and collectibles for their favorite players and teams—but is the sports retailer sharing more than just their love of the game?

Attorneys suspect that when a consumer adds items to their cart or makes a purchase on Fanatics.com, tracking tools embedded on the website may be recording their actions and sharing the data with online payment company PayPal. They believe this suspected disclosure of consumers’ personal information may violate certain state privacy laws and are gathering Fanatics.com users to take legal action via mass arbitration.

Burt’s Bees Investigation: Is Your Privacy at Risk?

Burt’s Bees—a personal care brand best known for its beeswax lip balms—is being investigated by attorneys for potentially illegal data-sharing practices.

Attorneys have reason to believe that tracking tools embedded into BurtsBees.com may secretly collect details about users’ interactions with the site and share this data with PayPal for advertising purposes. They suspect Burt’s Bees may have violated state privacy laws by neither disclosing that it sends shoppers’ information to third parties nor asking for their consent to do so.

Legal action is now in the works, and the attorneys are specifically looking for consumers who have BurtsBees.com accounts and made purchases on the website within the past two years to join.

Babylist.com Violating Users’ Privacy?

Babylist.com claims to make it easier for parents to keep track of everything they need for their new baby—but attorneys are concerned that the website could be secretly harvesting and sharing their information for advertising purposes.

Specifically, the attorneys believe Babylist may be using tracking software called the Meta pixel on its website to gather data about users, including which products they add to their registry and any other information they input into the site. The Meta pixel can then bundle these personal details and send them to Meta along with the user’s Facebook ID, which can be used to match the data to their Facebook profile. In this way, it’s possible that both Babylist.com and Meta could be tracking the details of a person’s early parenthood journey—down to the last pacifier.

Legal action is now in the works, and the attorneys are specifically looking for consumers who have BurtsBees.com accounts and made purchases on the website within the past two years to join.

If you had a registry on Babylist.com and a Facebook account within the past two years, join others taking action by filling out the form linked below.

Columbia.com Wiretapping?

Columbia.com members: whether you prefer skiing, hiking, fishing or just enjoying the great outdoors, Columbia Sportswear Company could be tracking and sharing information about your latest adventures.

Attorneys working with ClassAction.org believe the retailer may be using a tracking tool called the PayPal pixel to record members’ activities on Columbia.com and share their data with PayPal—regardless of what payment method members use on the site. Through this suspected data sharing, PayPal (and Columbia) can potentially collect information about consumers’ purchases and preferences and use it for marketing purposes.

The attorneys believe Columbia may have violated certain state and federal privacy laws and are now gathering members to take legal action.

If you had a Columbia.com membership and made a purchase from the website within the past two years, join others getting in on the action by filling out the form linked to below.

Is This a Lawsuit? What Am I Signing Up For, Exactly?

You are not signing up for a lawsuit, but rather a process known as mass arbitration. This is a relatively new legal technique that, like a class action lawsuit, allows a large group of people to take action and seek compensation from a company over an alleged wrongdoing. Here is a quick explanation of mass arbitration from our blog:

[M]ass arbitration occurs when hundreds or thousands of consumers file individual arbitration claims against the same company over the same issue at the same time. The aim of a mass arbitration proceeding is to grant relief on a large scale (similar to a class action lawsuit) for those who sign up.”

Some companies’ terms and conditions may contain a class action waiver and/or an arbitration clause requiring consumers to resolve disputes via arbitration, a form of alternative dispute resolution that takes place outside of court before a neutral arbitrator, as opposed to a judge or jury. It’s for this reason that attorneys working with ClassAction.org have decided to handle these matters as mass arbitrations rather than class action lawsuits.

How Much Does This Cost?

It costs nothing to sign up, and you’ll only need to pay if the attorneys win money on your behalf. Their payment will come as a percentage of your award.

If they don’t win your claim, you don’t pay.
