M.C. v. Padlet
Heidi Saas v. Wallwisher, Inc., d/b/a/ Padlet, No. 3:26-cv-10369 (N.D. Cal)
Brought on behalf of minor students who are required to use the Padlet educational software platform for school, this class-action lawsuit alleges that the company unlawfully permits numerous third parties to extract personal information from students who use its platform without notice or effective consent.
Plaintiffs allege that the companies to whom Padlet provides access to student information engage in mass advertising surveillance, including some of the country’s largest data brokers and digital-advertising companies. This data tracking and collection far exceeds any required for legitimate educational purposes.
The complaint asserts claims under California privacy laws and consumer-protection laws and seeks statutory damages and injunctive relief, including strict limitations on and oversight of student data collection and processing.:
