Mata filed a lawsuit against Redfin in June 2024, alleging violations of the Video Privacy Protection Act and California's Invasion of Privacy Act. He contends that Redfin unlawfully shared personally identifiable information (PII) with major firms like Meta and Google after users viewed video home tours. Redfin contested the lawsuit, pushing for arbitration, which Mata eventually agreed to, resulting in a stay of the case. Mata's motives for dismissing the suit remain unclear, but he has a similar pending case against Zillow, reflecting ongoing concerns about data privacy practices in the real estate sector.
The plaintiff, Mata, claims Redfin violated the Video Privacy Protection Act by allegedly sharing personally identifiable information with third parties without proper consent.
The lawsuit against Redfin centers on claims that subscriber data was improperly sent to firms like Facebook and Google after viewing videos.
Redfin sought to compel arbitration or dismiss the suit, leading to an agreement between Mata and Redfin for individual binding arbitration of Mata's claims.
Both Mata's case against Redfin and a similar claim against Zillow highlight concerns over consumer privacy in the digital era.
