The Almeida Law Group is “Shaping the Future of Digital Privacy in Healthcare.”

A recent article authored by Captain Compliance, titled “The Almeida Law Group and the Growing Wave of ECPA Lawsuits Against Healthcare Firms,” provides an insightful account of our Firm’s continuing efforts to hold accountable healthcare entities who use tracking technologies to collect and to disclose protected health information in violation of federal and state law, as well as their own privacy policies. 

In the article, Captain Compliance remarks that our Firm is “[a]t the forefront of these legal battles” and that we have “taken a firm stance against healthcare companies for alleged violations of the Electronic Communications Privacy Act (ECPA)” as our “lawsuits expose the widespread but often unnoticed use of digital tracking technologies—like the Meta Pixel, Google Analytics, TikTok, and other analytics tools.”  

The publication further notes that “Almeida Is Shaping the Future of Digital Privacy in Healthcare,” a reflection of our Firm’s proactive role in defining and enforcing digital privacy standards, particularly as they apply to sensitive health information. Recognizing the deterrent impact that the class action lawsuits litigated by our Firm have had on the industry as a whole, Captain Compliance states that “[t]he cases spearheaded by Almeida Law Group serve as a stark warning to healthcare companies and digital businesses alike.” 

Our Firm is excited and proud that its desired impact is resonating with legal and compliance professionals; “[h]ealthcare entities must recognize that data privacy is no longer optional; it is a fundamental component of ethical and legal business operations. With The Almeida Law Group proving to be a formidable force in exposing privacy violations, businesses need to act fast to secure their website and not violate any data subjects’ personal information knowingly or unknowingly before they find themselves in court and paying out millions of dollars.” 

At Almeida Law Group, we are hopeful that our work will encourage other businesses to proactively evaluate their data collection, security and sharing practices and ensure that they are being transparent with their patients as to how their data is being used and disclosed. And, if they are not, we will not hesitate to hold them accountable.
