Temu skyrocketed to the top as the most downloaded app in the U.S. in late 2022, and it held this title throughout 2023, amassing over 100 million users in the United States by May 2023. We assert that Temu’s users have been exploited, with their sensitive data misappropriated and exposed to unauthorized use and sale.
ABOUT THE LAWSUIT AGAINST TEMU
Independent experts have exposed Temu’s insidious data collection practices, far exceeding what is necessary or legitimate for an online shopping app. Temu covertly gathers biometric information and other private data, deceiving users and stripping them of their right to informed consent.
Multiple research studies and lawsuits reveal that “Temu compromises your phone as soon as you install the app, bypassing your data privacy settings and nullifying your control.” Privacy experts assert that Temu’s app infiltrates “virtually every aspect of your phone.” Here’s what Temu collects:
- Your contacts, text messages, photos, and calendars
- Access to your camera and microphone
- Precise location tracking
- Bluetooth and WiFi network information
- Biometric data such as face scans, voice recordings, and fingerprints
- Activity on all other apps running on your device
- System information, operating processes, and phone serial numbers
Temu’s blatant disregard for privacy laws is an egregious violation of state and federal regulations. We are dedicated to bringing this corporate giant to justice for its illegal actions. If you’ve used the Temu app, you could be entitled to significant compensation. Take our quick 50-second qualifying questionnaire below to see if you qualify for statutory penalties.
