NEW YORK — The Rosen Law Firm, a prominent national law practice, has launched an investigation into allegations that Disney has breached the Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA), which governs data collection from minors. The firm claims that Disney has improperly gathered personal information from children watching its videos on YouTube without obtaining necessary parental consent or notification.
Parents of children younger than 13 who have viewed Disney’s content on YouTube may be eligible for compensation without any upfront payments due to the firm’s contingency fee structure. The Rosen Law Firm is gearing up to file a class action lawsuit to address these alleged privacy infringements.
The issue at hand is rooted in claims from the Department of Justice (DOJ), detailing how Disney Worldwide Services, Inc. and Disney Entertainment Operations LLC failed to adhere to COPPA regulations. According to the complaint, Disney did not adequately label specific YouTube videos as “Made for Kids.” This oversight purportedly permitted the company to collect data and deploy targeted advertisements to young viewers without the necessary parental approval.
The complaint alleges that Disney continued these practices after being informed of the potential violations, improperly serving ads to under-13 viewers based on unlawfully obtained data.
The Rosen Law Firm emphasizes the importance of selecting experienced legal counsel when pursuing claims related to securities and privacy violations. The firm has a strong history of successful class actions and has been recognized for its efforts in this field, achieving significant settlements for investors worldwide.
In 2019, for instance, the firm secured over $438 million for investors, and its founding partner, Laurence Rosen, received recognition as a Titan of the Plaintiffs’ Bar by a legal news outlet. The firm has consistently ranked among the top in the industry for the number of securities class action settlements.
Individuals interested in participating in the prospective class action can contact Phillip Kim, an attorney with the firm, for more information. Queries can be made via a toll-free number or email, provided by the firm for ease of access.
This potential legal action reflects ongoing concerns about online privacy and the responsibilities of companies to protect children’s data, an issue that remains at the forefront of discussions in digital media and consumer protection.
