Case overview
What this settlement is about
A proposed class action lawsuit alleges that anime streaming service Crunchyroll violated the Video Privacy Protection Act by building Braze Inc.'s software development kit into its mobile app. According to the complaint, this let Crunchyroll transmit subscribers' email addresses, persistent device identifiers and the exact titles of videos they watched to Braze, without first getting the informed, written consent the law requires. The plaintiffs argue that this personally identifiable information lets Braze and its clients identify individual subscribers and track precisely which videos they've watched.
