Do We Have A Contract? What Delta’s Win Tells Us About Privacy Policies
A legal victory for Delta Air Lines this year is unique in that it is the first time that a court has determined that a business owes no obligation of privacy to a customer because its privacy policy explicitly disclaims any type of contractual relationship between the business and its customers, writes Sunrita Sen in the Frost Brown Todd fbtTech Blog.
The case involved a breach of contract claim over the data breach suffered by the airline in 2017.
A U.S. district judge dismissed the claim, agreeing with Delta that the Airline Deregulation Act preempted the plaintiff’s breach of contract claims.
