Overview

A class action lawsuit alleges Rite Aid shared website visitors’ personal and health data with Meta without consent, violating HIPAA and privacy laws.

Class Action Lawsuit Against Rite Aid

The Almeida Law Group, together with co-counsel, filed a class action in a California court alleging that Rite Aid discloses website visitors’ personal and health information to Meta and other third parties without their knowledge or consent.

Allegations of Unauthorized Data Sharing

The filing contends that the website has violated its privacy policies, the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA), and several federal and state statutes by failing to secure website visitors’ permission before tracking and sharing their highly confidential information.

Potential HIPAA and Privacy Law Violations

The suit, titled Leija v. Rite Aid Corporation, 1:23-cv-01080, seeks to set a precedent about gaining a user’s consent about their data and to have them receive monetary compensation. More information about this case here.
