SETTLEMENT SPOTLIGHT
🔍️ Oracle’s Data Dilemma: They Sold It
What Happened?
Oracle has been caught tracking web activity, in-store purchases, geolocation, and other personal info—all without consumer consent. The company allegedly sold this data to third parties for advertising (classic move, right?).
Of course, Oracle didn’t admit any wrongdoing but did agree to a $115 million settlement to resolve the data privacy class action lawsuit.
You probably got an email about this… and it probably ended up in your junk folder (like mine did). So go check for an email from: Katz-Lacabe v. Oracle Settlement Administrator
It looks like this 👇
What You Need to Do:

Other Key Deets:

- Oracle has also agreed to stop capturing user-generated info from referrer websites and will implement an audit program to keep its privacy promises in check.
