Lawsuit For Not Having Privacy Policy
Delta Airlines sued over lack of privacy policy - Yahoo! News
There are several Internet-related laws that California has never tried to enforce, so it will be interesting to see what happens.
FYI - California claims its law applies worldwide. If you have a website or online service that collects personal information about California residents, you need a disclosed privacy policy.
IMHO, this is generally unenforceable, especially when it comes to websites. A resident of a state cannot "bring their state law with them" when they go visit a website controlled in a different state or country. It would create chaos.
Note: the story says the claim is Delta Airlines did not have the required privacy notice on a smartphone app, which is an interesting twist, requiring software available on telephone services that can connect online to comply with web rules.
If successful, California could be in a position to quickly solve its budget crisis via a flood of lawsuits.
The law and compliance requirement is here:
