Sony Corporation of America serves as the U.S. headquarters for Sony Group Corporation, overseeing and coordinating all of Sony’s major businesses in the U.S. Sony Electronics operates under that umbrella and focuses specifically on designing, marketing, and supporting Sony’s consumer and professional electronics products, including TVs, audio equipment, and cameras. The company produces a wide range of TV models and has become one of the most profitable TV brands in the U.S. But according to a recent lawsuit filed by the Texas Attorney General, through Automatic Content Recognition (“ACR”) technology, Sony secretly monitors what consumers watch across streaming apps, cable, and even connected devices like gaming consoles or Blu-ray players.
Labaton Keller Sucharow is a law firm representing clients in individual arbitration claims against Sony. If you purchased a Sony Smart TV within the past three years, and the model was originally released in 2013 or later, you may be eligible to file a claim under your state’s data privacy and consumer protection laws. These laws may provide statutory damages of $500 or more, depending on your state of residence.
