On August 19, 2022, Lieff Cabraser filed a class action lawsuit in federal court in California against tech giant Oracle, one of the world’s largest data brokers. The lawsuit alleges Oracle improperly collects and sells the personal information of consumers to third parties without their consent, including detailed data on their behaviors, movements, social relationships, and interests.

The complaint describes Oracle as key player in the “adtech” space, where massive volumes of personal information on the world’s population is aggregated and used to identify and profile individuals for “targeted advertising” and/or other commercial and political purposes. As alleged in the complaint, this exploitation of personal information has become a multi-billion dollar industry that is based on invading consumers’ privacy.
