Feb. 21 Hearing Set on Kochava's Motion for Dismissal of FTC Privacy Suit

U.S. District Judge Lynn Winmill for Northern Idaho in Coeur d'Alene docketed the notice of a Feb. 21 virtual hearing (docket 2:22-cv-00377) on Kochava’s Oct. 28 motion for dismissal of the FTC’s Aug. 29 privacy complaint against the analytics firm (see 2212050061) for failure to state a claim. The agency's complaint, filed in the courthouse in Boise, is seeking a permanent injunction enjoining Kochava from acquiring consumers’ geolocation data and selling it in a format that allows entities to track their movements to and from sensitive locations such as medical, reproductive and mental health facilities, temporary shelters or places of worship.
