T.S. v. Body Contour Centers LLC
Summary
T.S. alleges Sono Bello transmitted consultation information to Meta through the Facebook Tracking Pixel without consent. The court allowed ECPA to proceed while dismissing CIPA and the withdrawn CMIA claim.

Litigation Status
Procedural Posture
Rule 12(b)(6) motion in a putative class action, granted in part and denied in part. ([cases.justia.com](https://cases.justia.com/federal/district-courts/washington/wawdce/2%3A2024cv01944/341964/47/0.pdf?ts=1790815521))
Reported Holding
The ECPA claim survived; CIPA was dismissed for insufficient predicate allegations, and CMIA was dismissed following withdrawal. ([law.justia.com](https://law.justia.com/cases/federal/district-courts/washington/wawdce/2%3A2024cv01944/341964/47/))
What the Court Decided
Consultation requests plausibly constituted contents; alleged HIPAA-related disclosure supported the crime-tort exception. ECPA permits civil procurement liability. CIPA Clause One excludes internet communications, and Clause Two required allegations of real-time review absent here. ([cases.justia.com](https://cases.justia.com/federal/district-courts/washington/wawdce/2%3A2024cv01944/341964/47/0.pdf?ts=1790815521))
What the Court Did Not Decide
The court did not determine ultimate liability, damages, or class certification; CMIA dismissal followed withdrawal rather than substantive adjudication. ([law.justia.com](https://law.justia.com/cases/federal/district-courts/washington/wawdce/2%3A2024cv01944/341964/47/))

What This Matter May Mean for Website Operators
California Invasion of Privacy Act (CIPA) is an all-party consent statute with a private right of action. Consent standard and private enforceability are the structural features that most shape where website tracking claims are filed and how they are valued.
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. Our scanner tests these behaviors empirically.
Because this matter is pending, anything reported here is procedural — allegations and interim rulings, not final determinations.
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.
