Citigroup Tracking Pixel Class Action

Franceska Herrera filed a class action lawsuit against Citigroup Inc., alleging that the company unlawfully intercepted the electronic communications of people visiting its website. The lawsuit claims that Citigroup caused and allowed third parties to intercept the contents of communications, thereby revealing personal searches and content interests while users were on the company's site.

The plaintiff asserts that Citigroup secretly embedded and operated third-party tracking technologies on its website. These technologies allegedly intercepted users' electronic communications in real time and without any notice or consent. The allegations state that Citigroup uses these tools for commercial goals, such as audience measurement, cross-session behavioral profiling, and monetizing browsing activity through targeted advertising. The claims involve allegations of unjust enrichment and intrusion upon seclusion, alongside violations of the California Constitution, the California Invasion of Privacy Act, California’s Unfair Competition Law, and the Federal Wiretap Act.

The plaintiff is seeking a jury trial, along with declaratory and injunctive relief, and an award of statutory, punitive, compensatory, and nominal damages for herself and all class members. The lawsuit was filed in the California federal court, and the plaintiff seeks to represent a class of consumers who used the website between July 22, 2025, and the present. The plaintiff is represented by Reuben D. Nathan of Nathan & Associates APC and Ross Cornell of the Law Offices of Ross Cornell APC.
