Privacy Class Actions
At Phillips, Erlewine, Given & Carlin we know that despite the ever-expanding reach and commodification of personal data by tech companies and other large corporations, the right to privacy is fundamental in California. For over ten years, our privacy class action attorneys have been dedicated to protecting the rights of individuals whose privacy has been compromised online or unwittingly through the apps on their phone.
Our Approach
With the increasing prevalence of data breaches, improper handling of personal information, and other tech-based violations of privacy rights, individuals must band together to protect their personal information and be fairly compensated when that information is leaked without their permission. Our team of seasoned attorneys have a wealth of experience and success in privacy class action lawsuits.
Our firm’s successes include:
TikTok, Inc. Consumer Privacy Litigation: $92,000,000
