In a win for businesses using third-party technologies to power their websites, a California federal court applied the Ninth Circuit’s recent decision in Popa v. Microsoft Corporation to dismiss a “pen register” claim brought under the California Invasion of Privacy Act (“CIPA”) for lack of Article III standing.  Khamooshi v. Politico LLC, No. 24-cv-07836-SK, 2025 WL 2822879 (N.D. Cal. Oct. 2, 2025).  “As in Popa,” the Khamooshi court held that the plaintiffs—who alleged the collection of their device type, browser type, and “device fingerprints”—“identifie[d] no embarrassing, invasive, or otherwise private information collected,” as required to establish an Article III injury.
