Judge dismisses consumer lawsuit against Apple over data breach

Wellington, Fri, 29 Nov 2013 ANI

Wellington, Nov. 29 (ANI): A California judge has reportedly dismissed a consumer lawsuit against Apple, which claimed that the tech giant breached its privacy policy and put the plaintiff's personal data exposed.

The four plaintiffs failed to show that they had relied on any alleged company misrepresentations and that they had suffered harm.

According to stuff.co.nz, the plaintiffs claimed in 2011 that Apple had violated its privacy policy, and had designed its iOS environment to easily transmit personal information to third parties that collect and analyse such data without user consent or detection.

The plaintiffs had also claimed that they suffered damages by paying too much money for their iPhones and by losing storage space, among other things.

US District Judge Lucy H Koh in California said that the plaintiffs must be able to provide some evidence that they saw one or more of Apple's alleged misrepresentations, that they actually relied on those misrepresentations, and that they were harmed thereby. (ANI)
