Oracle/Data Broker Consumer Privacy Violations

Lieff Cabraser serves as Class Counsel in a class action against Oracle Inc., one of the world’s largest data brokers. Plaintiffs allege that Oracle surveilled consumers online and offline, compiled their personal data into detailed profiles—including geolocation, finances, demographics, interests, and health—and then sold those profiles to third parties. Plaintiffs further allege that Oracle’s “coretag” tracking code, embedded on thousands of popular websites, unlawfully intercepts consumers’ communications. Consumers did not consent to Oracle’s conduct; many were unaware that the company existed. This case is thus unique in that Oracle’s surveillance centers on people with whom the company had no direct relationship.

On August 9, 2024, Judge Richard Seeborg of the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California granted preliminary approval to a class action settlement that (a) requires Oracle to pay $115 million into a settlement fund from which benefits to class members will be paid, and (b) requires Oracle to make changes to its business practices. The final approval hearing is set for November 14, 2024. More details about the case and settlement are available on the settlement website, https://www.katzprivacysettlement.com/.

    Complaint

    “Current privacy expectations are developing, to say the least, with respect to a key issue raised in these cases–whether the data subject owns and controls his or her personal information…”

    -U.S. District Judge, May 2019, denying motion to dismiss in Lieff Cabraser’s Child Online Privacy Litigation

    “Your location, your messages, your heart rate after a run. These are private things. Personal things. And they should belong to you. Simple as that.”
