Ubisoft Faces Lawsuit for Allegedly Sharing User Data with Meta
The lawsuit claims that Ubisoft shared personally identifiable information with Meta without user consent, violating privacy laws.
- The lawsuit was filed by two plaintiffs in the US District Court for the Northern District of California on October 3, 2024.
- Plaintiffs allege that Ubisoft's use of Meta's Pixel tracking software exposed users' personally identifiable information without their knowledge.
- The complaint accuses Ubisoft of violating the Video Privacy Protection Act, the Federal Wiretap Act, and the California Invasion of Privacy Act.
- Plaintiffs seek financial compensation and demand that Ubisoft either remove the Pixel or obtain explicit user consent for data sharing.
- Ubisoft has not commented on the lawsuit, and the case is still pending class action certification.
