California is seeing an increase in privacy-related lawsuits under the California Invasion of Privacy Act (CIPA), originally designed to combat unlawful telephone wiretapping. Modern interpretations are now attacking web tracking methods, particularly session replay software that captures user interactions. A recent ruling by the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California has clarified CIPA's scope, stating that claims must demonstrate that a party actually read the contents of users' communications in transit. This ruling may influence how companies implement tracking technologies in compliance with privacy regulations.
