Class Action Suit Filed Against Sinclair
/
A class action lawsuit claims Sinclair has illegally and knowingly shared with third parties, including Google, the personal data of TennisChannel.com subscribers, without consent.
The lawsuit alleges that Sinclair’s streaming platform, which offers a library of prerecorded videos and live coverage of tennis and other sports, utilizes web-tracking technology that automatically captures and transmits subscribers’ personal information and viewing histories to third parties, which then allegedly use the data for targeted marketing purposes.
The suit claims that TennisChannel.com also discloses subscribers’ emails, account passwords, viewing histories and website interactions to EaseLive.TV, a third party which provides the platform with ad-integration services.
