I'd note that the email address that notification of this settlement was sent to has only been used to communicate with an online food market and never anything else. I'm guessing that maybe that online supermarket was using Oracle's cloud and they MITM'd data, or perhaps they built the website and included tracking for themselves as well as the organization involved. I'd note that the sites listed below do not correspond to the email address used by me, so I can only assume that many, many other sites are involved. Has anyone else received such a notification? If so, can you identify which site(s) were associated with your activity? From the Amended Complaint[0]: - 3 - SECOND AMENDED CLASS ACTION COMPLAINT CASE NO. 3:22-CV-04792-RS 6. Oracle has tracked Mr. Katz-Lacabe’s activity on at least hundreds of websites. Mr. Katz-Lacabe has searched for and viewed articles related to political and personal financial issues on numerous websites. Oracle tracking mechanisms, including “cookies,” “pixels,” and/or javascript code, as described below at paragraphs 41-59, were present on those websites, including, on information and belief, at the time Mr. Katz-Lacabe accessed them. Those tracking mechanisms transmitted to Oracle the URL data coupled with unique identifiers that Oracle used to associate that browsing history with other data compiled into a data profile about him. On information and belief, the bk-coretag javascript code was present on a subset of websites at the time Mr. Katz- Lacabe read those articles, and that code transmitted to Oracle the URLs for the specific articles and web pages he was reading to Oracle, and also transmitted information he entered into fields on these websites, including but not limited to search terms, as well as add-to-cart actions, and other communications with websites. Oracle maintains a data profile concerning Mr. Katz-Lacabe, which Oracle provides direct access or indirect access (e.g., via products or services derived from the profile) to unknown third parties. On information and belief, Oracle engaged in this conduct throughout the class period. The websites visited by Mr. Katz-Lacabe where Oracle tracking mechanisms have been detected include but are not limited to: a. abcnews.com b. citi.com c. fivethirtyeight.com d. govdelivery.com e. ktla.com f. nasdaq.com g. nytimes.com 7. Oracle partnered with a company called PlaceIQ to obtain, compile, and analyze hundreds of physical locations Mr. Katz-Lacabe had traveled to, and then made that data, or information derived from that data (such as “segments” described at paragraphs 57, 64, and 74-76 below), via products or services derived from that profile available to unknown third parties through its Data Marketplace.
