Program Summary

Session I - Video Privacy Protection Act (VPPA): Old laws in modern digital enterprises – Nick Palmieri

This session will provide an in-depth look at how plaintiffs are applying legacy laws to new and evolving technologies, focusing on data privacy litigation. With the advent of cookies, biometrics, and advancements in data privacy laws, businesses are increasingly facing lawsuits based on laws that were not designed with modern enterprises in mind. This session covers key legal frameworks, such as the Video Privacy Protection Act (VPPA). Join to explore practical litigation strategies, compliance measures, and case law trends to better understand how to defend against or pursue privacy claims.

Key topics to be discussed:

  • Data privacy litigation
  • History and key provisions of VPPA
  • Case law reviews
  • The role of cookies in data privacy
  • Implications of using third-party cookies without consent
  • Compliance strategies

Session II - A Deep Dive into VPPA Service Providers: From newsletters to video games – Stacey Chuvaieva

The concept of a service provider under the VPPA has significantly evolved from its original focus on brick-and-mortar video rental stores. Class action claims now target a diverse range of digital services that include any form of prerecorded video content or "similar audio-visual materials" on their websites, use tracking technologies like Meta Pixel and offer a subscription. Most arguments in VPPA litigation revolve around the interpretation of “similar audio-visual materials” and the required connection between prerecorded video content and the provided subscription. The definition of prerecorded video materials appears to be broad enough to lead to litigation against video game companies whose games feature prerecorded cut scenes. As VPPA litigation trends continue to develop, they may further define the scope of covered materials and clarify the expanding range of VPPA service providers. For now, companies using tracking technologies that could reveal "video viewing history" may want to explore options for obtaining consumer consent before collecting such data.

Key topics to be discussed:

  • The types of VPPA service providers
  • The required nexus between video content and website subscription
  • Defense strategies
  • VPPA-compliant disclosures and consent requirements
