How is IBM challenging California Privacy Law in court?

IBM is challenging the California Privacy Law statute with the filing of two motions for summary judgment claiming that:

  • disclosures had been properly made as required under the California law;

  • having disclosures made on a separate website as opposed to within the mobile application was legal;

  • the California statutes do not mandate where privacy disclosures regarding mobile applications have to be made; and

  • the city attorney’s office was unable to make a showing of any substantial injuries caused by the Weather Channel’s application’s actions.
