Application for Authorization
CONSUMER LAW GROUP has instituted a Canada-wide class action lawsuit against Chinese-owned online shopping platform Temu for collecting more data from its users than is necessary and in a greater amount than what it discloses.
The class action was filed on behalf of the following class:
• All persons resident in Canada who used the Temu platform, or had electronic communications with Temu users, or who had their data stored on devices used by Temu users;
A U.S. class action was filed alleging that Temu "purposefully and intentionally loaded with tools to execute virulent and dangerous malware and spyware activities on user devices" and "misled people about how it uses their data."
According to the U.S. Complaint, "Temu requests at least 24 permissions for all kinds of information that would not be needed for an online shopping app." Those permissions include access to Bluetooth and Wi-Fi network information and biometric data like fingerprints.
Further details can be found here "We believe PDD is a Dying Fraudulent Company and its Shopping App TEMU is Cleverly Hidden Spyware that Poses an Urgent Security Threat to U.S. National Interests".
