Digital Privacy & Cybersecurity Litigation
What is Data Privacy?
Digital privacy and cybersecurity litigation addresses the legal consequences of how companies collect, store, use, and protect personal information. Cases in this area arise from data breaches, unauthorized tracking, biometric data collection, sale of personal information without consent, and other failures to safeguard sensitive data. The legal framework draws on a mix of federal and state statutes—including the California Consumer Privacy Act, the Illinois Biometric Information Privacy Act, and various wiretap and consumer protection laws—as well as common-law claims for negligence and breach of contract.
Our Practice
At Noss & Russell, LLP, we represent individuals and classes of consumers in privacy and cybersecurity disputes across the country. From our base in San Diego, our boutique team takes on technology companies, retailers, healthcare providers, financial institutions, and other organizations whose handling of personal data has exposed consumers to harm. Our cases range from large-scale breach litigation to claims involving covert tracking, unlawful disclosure, and statutory violations carrying significant per-person damages.
Our Approach
This area of law moves quickly, and effective representation requires more than legal knowledge alone. We work with technical experts to understand how systems were designed, where they failed, and what information was actually exposed. That foundation allows us to frame claims accurately, respond to defense arguments with substance, and pursue results that reflect both the scope of the harm and the importance of meaningful accountability in how personal data is treated.
