Case overview
What this settlement is about
Yahoo is facing a new proposed class action lawsuit alleging that the company secretly tracked millions of internet users through its ConnectID technology. According to the suit, Yahoo used email-based identifiers to follow users across the web, sidestepping standard privacy safeguards and quietly building detailed profiles to strengthen its advertising business — all allegedly without obtaining user consent. The lawsuit seeks monetary damages on behalf of affected users as well as a court order stopping Yahoo from continuing the alleged tracking practices.
