Data Privacy & Security - Baker - Index Exchange - ECPA litigation related to Bulk Sensitive Data Rule (US)

Index Exchange has been hit with class-action claims alleging it broke the Electronic Communications Privacy Act (ECPA) because of violations of the new US Department of Justice Bulk Sensitive Data Rule. Plaintiff John Baker alleges that Index Exchange engaged in "a dangerous and unlawful data-sharing arrangement between a Canada-based advertising platform that conducts extensive business in the United States and a foreign adversary of the United States. Defendant Index Exchange knowingly and systematically transmitted sensitive user data intercepted from U.S. websites to Temu, an e-commerce platform owned and operated by a Chinese-founded parent company with deep ties to China and widely reported links to its intelligence apparatus."
