When you talk to a business representative on the phone, chances are you’ll hear an advisory that the call is being recorded.

On some calls, however, you don’t hear that warning – or don’t hear it soon enough – and your voice gets recorded without your consent.

These illegal recordings are more than just an annoyance. They’re a serious violation of your privacy rights.

The law is on your side

In California, it’s illegal for callers to record or intercept conversations without your permission. If you’ve been a victim of an illegal call recording, you could be entitled to compensation of $5,000 or more for each occurrence.

Our firm recently published a free white paper and SlideShare presentation discussing this important topic, including key issues such as:

  • When these illegal call recordings are most likely to happen
  • How to know if you’ve been a victim
  • What to do if you suspect a violation

We invite you to click through the SlideShare below to learn more.

Delta’s Pricing Practices: Building the Case for Legal Action

Dynamic pricing algorithms used by Delta Air Lines may violate consumer protection laws, potentially leading to class-action lawsuits. Previous legal precedents set by actions against other companies over algorithmic bias and discriminatory practices could help challenge these systems. Various attributes like zip code, device type, or browsing history that impact pricing could lead to violation of consumer protection and civil rights protections. Investigations by multiple agencies signal a move towards a stronger stance against such practices.
