“What customers did not know was that their email address and other information about their purchase was shared with Meta, the company behind the Facebook social network.'

A notice of civil claim seeking certification as a class action was filed with the B.C. Supreme Court on Feb. 27, naming B.C. resident Lasse Hvitved as its lead plaintiff against Home Depot, whom he bought a shower head from last year.

Hvitved has had a Facebook account since at least 2018 when, according to the notice of civil claim, Home Depot began collecting customers’ personal information at store checkouts to issue electronic receipts. The lawsuit claims Home Depot shared the personal information with Meta to determine how effective its online advertising was.

The lawsuit claimed customers were not asked for consent to share that information and it was done without any notice to customers.
