A reported 2026 tracking-technology claim (not independently confirmed) alleges Carvana installed unauthorised tracking on its site, and the online-only model makes that allegation more consequential than it would be for a traditional dealer: the entire purchase happens on the website, so browsing behaviour, financing pre-qualification and trade-in valuation all occur where the tracking sits. Carvana also holds full credit applications for customers who never entered a building. Allegations, not findings.

Data sharing
REPORTED TRACKING-TECHNOLOGY CLAIM (2026; no docket or filing retrieved — treat as unconfirmed): reportedly alleges Carvana installed unauthorized tracking software on its website, collecting and sharing visitor data without consent — part of the broader tracking-pixel litigation wave documented throughout this tracker, here applied to an online used-car retailer. Carvana's own SEC filings (as reviewed in an earlier pass; current status not re-verified Oct 2026) disclosed MULTIPLE disputes including patent infringement, securities-law violations, consumer-protection claims, and — notably — lawsuits specifically alleging problems with the TITLING AND REGISTRATION of vehicles sold to customers (Carvana, LLC v. IBM Corp.; Jennings v. Carvana; Harvin v. Carvana; Erakat v. Carvana Operations), plus state attorney general inquiries (described as ongoing in those filings) into Carvana's inspection, reconditioning, advertising, sale, delivery, titling, registration, and lending practices across multiple states.
