A new Capital One class action lawsuit alleges that the financial institution shares personal customer information with Meta, Google, Microsoft and other third parties without their consent.
Plaintiffs Vishal Shah, Gary Ingraham, Deia Williams, and Devin Rose filed the Capital One class action lawsuit. They did so to challenge the “outrageous, illegal and widespread practice” of disclosing customers’ personal and financial information to unaffiliated third-party entities.
The plaintiffs claim Capital One implements code-based tracking devices into its website. Those disclose account information, credit card application information, which pages the customer visited and information entered on preapproval application pages.
“Upon information and belief, Capital One utilized data from trackers to improve and to save costs on its marketing campaigns, improve its data analytics, attract new customers and generate sales,” the Capital One class action lawsuit alleges.
