Almeida Law Group filed a class-action suit on behalf of Spencer Christy alleging Lenovo violated DOJ Data Security Program regulations by enabling bulk transfers of U.S. consumer behavioral data to entities under Chinese control. The complaint cites DOJ rules designed to prevent adversarial countries from acquiring behavioral data and states the rule prohibits sending American consumers' information to Chinese entities via automated advertising systems and associated databases. The suit notes a 100,000-person threshold for covered personal identifiers, lists sensitive identifier types, and alleges Lenovo's website loads multiple trackers (including TikTok, Facebook, Microsoft, and Google) that expose bulk U.S. personal data.
