Doe v. CRH Healthcare, LLC et al
Summary
The plaintiff alleged that healthcare website tracking disclosed personal and medical information to Google without authorization. The court granted dismissal with leave to amend; the source does not establish subsequent amendment or final dismissal with prejudice. ([law.justia.com](https://law.justia.com/cases/federal/district-courts/georgia/gandce/1%3A2025cv06353/351542/35/))
Litigation Status
Procedural Posture
Rule 12(b)(6) dismissal of the amended complaint, with fourteen days to amend before dismissal becomes with prejudice. ([cases.justia.com](https://cases.justia.com/federal/district-courts/georgia/gandce/1%3A2025cv06353/351542/35/0.pdf?ts=1785437675))
Reported Holding
The court dismissed all claims without prejudice for insufficient damages allegations and application of the ECPA party exception. ([law.justia.com](https://law.justia.com/cases/federal/district-courts/georgia/gandce/1%3A2025cv06353/351542/35/))
What the Court Decided
Counts 1–5 lacked adequately pleaded cognizable loss. The ECPA crime-tort exception required a purpose independent of the interception itself, which was not adequately alleged.

What the Court Did Not Decide
The court did not reach whether the transmitted information constituted ECPA contents; it treated damages as a pleading issue rather than Article III standing. ([law.justia.com](https://law.justia.com/cases/federal/district-courts/georgia/gandce/1%3A2025cv06353/351542/35/))
Significance
Generally viewed as defense-favorable. Characterizations of significance describe how the matter has generally been discussed in tracked public sources; individual holdings are often narrow, procedural, or fact-specific, and this page does not state or imply broader holdings than the sources support.
What This Page Does and Does Not Say
This page reports what our tracked public sources say about this matter — including, where identified, the procedural posture (for example, a ruling on a motion to dismiss is not a final merits decision). It does not report legal conclusions beyond those sources, does not predict outcomes, and does not constitute legal advice.

What This Matter May Mean for Website Operators
For operators using similar technologies, the recurring factual questions in matters like this one are whether advertising pixels transmit page URLs or hashed form data before a consent choice; what page URLs and query strings analytics tools share with third parties. Our scanner tests these behaviors empirically.
The reported outcome direction at the pleading stage reflects how tracked sources characterize the ruling; such rulings are often narrow, posture-specific, and fact-bound rather than broad statements of law.
Detection of a similar technology on a website is an informational risk indicator, not a legal conclusion, and nothing in this section is legal advice.

How this content is produced: Facts are extracted from publicly available sources — court and government materials, recognized legal press, professional analysis, and industry reports — by our litigation intelligence engine, stored with full source provenance, and rendered from the database. Risk guidelines are computed by a deterministic formula, never by an AI model directly. See the full methodology.
Limitations: Counts labeled "Tracked" reflect matters identified in our source set and are not official court statistics. We report what courts decided and did not decide; we do not predict outcomes.
