Redfin

Headline

Same VPPA and CIPA video-tracking theory as Zillow, filed the same period - two direct competitors, identical alleged conduct, which tells you the practice was industry standard rather than one company's choice.

Same VPPA and CIPA video-tracking theory as Zillow, filed the same period - two direct competitors, identical alleged conduct, which tells you the practice was industry standard rather than one company's choice. Redfin is also a licensed brokerage as well as a search portal, so the same entity that observes your browsing also employs the agent who represents you, which is a conflict most users never articulate. Allegations, not findings.

Data sharing

SAME VPPA/CIPA VIDEO-TRACKING LAWSUIT PATTERN as Zillow (reported as filed the same day in June 2024 by the same plaintiff; filing details not re-verified this pass): Redfin allegedly installed tracking pixels sending video-tour viewing data to Meta, Google, Microsoft, Reddit, Snapchat, AND ORACLE (an additional named recipient not listed in the Zillow suit) without valid consent. NOTABLY, Redfin's 10-K filed Feb 27 2024 stated that it uses pixels, that 'Companies using tracking technology, including Redfin, have been the subjects of recent data privacy lawsuits' relying on older laws, and that its use of such technology 'could subject us to expensive litigation' - i.e., Redfin had already been sued over tracking technology before the June 2024 suit.

Who holds your data. Data chain: Redfin, then Rocket Companies, Inc. (acquisition completed July 1 2025) (parent).
