Court Narrows Scope of Biometric Data Privacy Case Involving Amazon and Starbucks


In a recent decision, the U.S. District Court for the Western District of Washington in Seattle narrowed the scope of a biometric data privacy case involving Amazon and Starbucks. Judge Marsha Pechman dismissed the majority of the claims brought under N.Y.C. Admin. Code §§ 22-1201(a) and 22-1201(b). As a result of the ruling, Starbucks has been removed as a defendant, while most unjust enrichment claims against Amazon were also dismissed, leaving only one such claim intact.
