ESPN+ and ESPN.com may be violating the privacy rights of its users by tracking them and disclosing their personally identifiable information and information about the videos they watched to third parties without their written consent. If you have an ESPN+/MyDisney subscription and a ESPN.com account, and you watched videos and videoclips through the ESPN.com and the ESPN+ (plus.espn.com) websites, you may qualify for a claim under video privacy laws of up to $2,500. The claim alleges that ESPN+ paid subscribers who watched prerecorded videos on the ESPN+ (plus.espn.com) and ESPN.com websites such as previously aired games, ESPN+ Originals, or 30 for 30 sports documentary videos while logged into their Facebook account had their video watching history shared with third parties without written consent.
This is a case about data privacy.
We allege that ESPN+ is violating the privacy rights of its subscribers who watch video content through the ESPN+ and ESPN.com websites by disclosing their personally identifiable information, including the videos they watch, to third parties without obtaining separate consent. We allege that this combination of information can be used to identify individual subscribers and their entire viewing history. We are representing clients in individual arbitration claims against ESPN+ for violating the Video Privacy Protection Act, which awards damages of up to $2,500 per violation, as well as additional state consumer protection and privacy laws.
