Study.com CIPA Lawsuits | California Invasion of Privacy Act
Many companies, including Study.com, have allegedly violated the California Invasion of Privacy Act (CIPA) by tracking users’ activity on their websites without consent.
Peiffer Wolf is currently investigating Study.com for allegedly tracking California residents’ activities on their websites without user consent or knowledge.
The California Invasion of Privacy Act (CIPA), enacted in 1967, protects the privacy of Californians by regulating the recording and overhearing of conversations and communications. We believe this applies to online data tracking including when companies use third party trackers to monitor your web activity.
