On November 14, 2011, Keller Grover filed a class action complaint against Hyundai Motor America alleging that Hyundai violated California’s Invasion of Privacy Act by recording telephone conversations between consumers and Hyundai’s Consumer Affairs department without providing notice to consumers of such practice and without obtaining consumer consent.
The Invasion of Privacy Act protects the privacy rights of Californians by generally prohibiting the monitoring or recording of telephone conversations without first obtaining the consent of all parties to the conversation.
On November 20, 2015, the class action settled for $1,350,000.
