What's the Zoominfo Name Search Privacy Class Action?

A nearly $30 million class action lawsuit (also known as Ramos et al. v. ZoomInfo Technologies, LLC) has been settled with Zoominfo over allegations that Zoominfo violated certain U.S. states' publicity laws by including consumer information without any prior consent.

The class action lawsuit originally alleged that ZoomInfo violated right of publicity laws in California, Illinois, Indiana, and Nevada. The claim is that ZoomInfo used individuals' personal information (names, business addresses, work history, job titles, etc.) on its website's preview pages to advertise or promote subscriptions without consent. ZoomInfo denies any wrongdoing.
