Protecting Against CIPA Lawsuits: Latest Trends & Best Practices
summary
CIPA litigation focuses on three statutes: Penal Code section 631 (wiretapping), 632 (two‑party recording), and 638.51 (pen‑register/trap‑and‑trace), with current suits often citing 638.51 pin‑trap claims against public IP and device metadata. Practical mitigations that courts care about include defer third‑party scripts by 1–2 seconds to avoid “simultaneous interception,” server‑side tracking to show data reaches your server first, transparent cookie/banner disclosures, masking form inputs, and weighing an opt‑in (guaranteed safe) versus ~20–30% data loss and $5,000‑per‑violation exposure.
