The California Invasion of Privacy Act (“CIPA”) applies to any business that either: i) records phone calls with California consumers; or ii) tracks certain website activities with California consumers using third-party vendors.
Penalties for violating CIPA are as high as $5,000.00 per recorded phone call or tracked website visit. Class actions are permitted meaning that CIPA violations can be brought in large class actions seeking to recover for hundreds, thousands, or even millions of consumers. This means CIPA claims can often result in multi-billion dollar litigation.
The good news is that most CIPA cases can be avoided through simple compliance steps and disclosures. Contact the lawyers at TroutmanAmin, LLP to learn how you can protect yourself from the MASSIVE risk of CIPA.
