Privacy Suit Closed

Start date: February 4, 2008

End date: February 12, 2008

Sears is being sued by a plaintiff, seeking class action status, who claims that the company violated its customers’ privacy through an online site that allows customers to track their purchases. The plaintiff claims the problem is that customers can hop on the site and track the purchases of other customers as well, as long as they know basic information about Sears’ customers, such as their name and address. Do you view this as a privacy violation?
