Video Privacy Protection Act Attorneys

We investigate streaming sites — including PokerGo.com and others — for violations of the Video Privacy Protection Act (VPPA), a federal law protecting your privacy when you watch videos on sites you subscribe to.

How Websites Are Violating Your Video Privacy

The VPPA prohibits video-tape service providers from knowingly disclosing personally identifiable information (PII) tied to what videos you request or watch. Modern tracking tools have made these disclosures widespread.

Common VPPA Violations
Facebook Pixel reporting videos you watched back to Meta
TikTok pixel and third-party tracking on video pages
Sharing your video-watching history with advertising networks
Disclosing your Facebook ID alongside video titles and URLs
Transmitting PII without proper opt-in consent
Sending video-viewing data to analytics vendors
