    Recent California Invasion of Privacy Act Cases on Pen Registers and Trap-and-Trace Devices
    Fisher Phillips

    The California Invasion of Privacy Act (CIPA) continues to be a source of litigation for claims related to websites across the country.

    Previously, CIPA cases focused more on claims related to chatbots, chat features, social media pixels, and ad-trackers on websites.

    CIPA prohibits using these devices without a court order. This resource provides a short summary of these recent cases divided into two categories: those favorable to businesses, and those unfavorable for businesses.
