sensitive health data to outside companies including Google, via analytics tools.<\/p>\n<p class=\"western\">&#8220;Americans expect privacy when it comes<br \/>\nto their reproductive health information,&#8221; four individuals who visited Planned Parenthood&#8217;s website allege in a class-action complaint brought late last week in federal court in New York.<\/p>\n<p class=\"western\">&#8220;That expectation is especially strong where disclosure could reveal a person\u2019s sexual preferences, sexual orientation, or pregnancy status &#8212; and it has only intensified since<br \/>\nthe U.S. Supreme Court ended the constitutional right to abortion,&#8221; the plaintiffs add in their complaint.<\/p>\n<p>The plaintiffs, identified in court papers only by their initials, allege that that<br \/>\nPlanned Parenthood&#8217;s website automatically transmits a host of information about users who attempt to book appointments online &#8212; including the services patients searched for, their ZIP codes and on a<br \/>\npage regarding abortion, a patient&#8217;s age and first day of their last menstrual period.<\/p>\n<p>advertisement<\/p>\n<p>advertisement<\/p>\n<p class=\"western\">The complaint also alleges that the website&#8217;s &#8220;consent banner&#8221; &#8212; which asks consumers to<br \/>\neither accept or reject cookies &#8212; is misleading.<\/p>\n<p>According to the complaint, people who attempted to reject tracking were &#8220;subjected to precisely the same conduct&#8221; as users who accepted<br \/>\ncookies.<\/p>\n<p class=\"western\">The complaint includes claims that Planned Parenthood violates the federal wiretap law and a New York consumer-protection law.<\/p>\n<p class=\"western\">Planned<br \/>\nParenthood has not yet responded to MediaPost&#8217;s request for comment.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.mediapost.com\/publications\/article\/416081\/planned-parenthood-hit-with-privacy-suit-over-anal.html\">Source<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Planned Parenthood Hit With Privacy Suit Over Analytics Tools 06\/25\/2026 https:\/\/www.mediapost.com\/publications\/article\/416081\/planned-parenthood-hit-with-privacy-suit-over-anal.html Publish Date: 2026-06-25 06:34:00&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":281337,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/s3.amazonaws.com\/media.mediapost.com\/dam\/cropped\/2025\/10\/28\/gavel-600-8_eu8tyf5_Qr7uK5k.jpg","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[16],"tags":[84],"class_list":["post-281336","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-privacy","tag-tracking"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/281336"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=281336"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/281336\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":281338,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/281336\/revisions\/281338"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/281337"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=281336"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=281336"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=281336"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
