OpenAI Faces Class Action Lawsuit Over ChatGPT Data Sharing With Meta and Google
OpenAI is being sued in a class action for allegedly sharing private ChatGPT user data with Meta and Google via tracking technology.Summary
A class action lawsuit filed in a California federal court alleges that OpenAI improperly shared private user data from ChatGPT with Meta and Google. The complaint claims that OpenAI integrated tracking technologies into its website, which transmitted sensitive information—including query topics, account identifiers, and personal email addresses—to these companies without obtaining user consent. Plaintiffs argue this violates reasonable consumer privacy expectations, as many users discuss confidential financial, medical, and legal matters with the AI assistant. The lawsuit seeks monetary damages and an injunction, adding to a growing wave of legal challenges against AI companies regarding data privacy and model training practices.
