Case overview
What this settlement is about
Plaintiffs alleged that Home Depot illegally deployed automated license plate recognition (ALPR) technology at its California store parking lots, capturing license plate numbers, vehicle make, model, color, and other details of every vehicle entering its lots, and then sharing that information with a national law enforcement database accessible to federal agencies. The plaintiffs allege Home Depot violated California’s ALPR Privacy Act, the California Consumer Privacy Act, the California Constitution’s right to privacy, and California’s Unfair Competition Law, among other claims, by failing to maintain a compliant usage and privacy policy, failing to identify a responsible data custodian, failing to define a data retention period, and allowing unrestricted data sharing with federal and out-of-state law enforcement agencies.
