Webinar – Pixels, Pop-Ups, and Privacy Lawsuits: The Expanding Reach of CIPA

The California Invasion of Privacy Act (CIPA) has quietly evolved from a 1960s anti-wiretapping law into one of the plaintiffs’ bar’s most potent and expensive weapons against businesses across the United States — including those right here in Oklahoma.

Following the Ninth Circuit’s decision in Javier v. Assurance IQ, plaintiffs’ lawyers are scouring for targets and filing suits against companies whose websites use marketing pixels, chat functions, or session replay tools — often seeking thousands of dollars per alleged violation. Importantly, you do not have to be located in California to be in the crosshairs; even a single online interaction with a California resident can trigger liability.

This session, GableGotwals attorneys Rick Cella and Joe Lang explain how CIPA is being applied to modern web technologies, break down recent case law and litigation trends, and give you practical steps to protect your clients or your company from becoming the next target — no matter where you’re based.
