23 Oct 2025 TFG Holding, Inc.JustFab, ShoeDazzle, FabKids: 4.8 million USD settlement with 33 attorneys general over VIP membership USA, PAInformation duties in online retail €4.14m

According to the allegations of the attorneys general, the online fashion retailer enrolled buyers in a paid VIP membership programme without their express consent, presented prices in a misleading way and made cancellation difficult. Under the settlement with 32 states and D.C., TFG is providing around 3.8 million USD in automatic refunds and paying 1 million USD to the states; the settlement does not constitute an admission of guilt.

What organisations can take from it

A purchase must not silently trigger a membership with monthly charges.

26 Sep 2025 Tractor Supply CompanyCPPA: $1.35 million against Tractor Supply over missing opt-out mechanisms USA, CAData subject rights and transparency €1.16m

The rural retail giant inadequately informed consumers and job applicants about their rights, offered no effective means of opting out of the sale and sharing of data (including no Global Privacy Control) and passed data on to third parties without the required contracts. An officer must certify compliance annually for four years, as required by the California Privacy Protection Agency (CPPA).

What organisations can take from it

Privacy notices must also cover job applicants, and browser opt-out signals such as GPC must be implemented technically.

6 May 2025 Todd Snyder, Inc.Todd Snyder: 345,178 USD – tracking opt-out ineffective for 40 days USA, CACookies and tracking €304,793

For 40 days, the fashion retailer’s misconfigured privacy portal did not process objections to the sale and sharing of personal data; in addition, the company required too much data and identity verification before an opt-out. The California Privacy Protection Agency (CPPA) imposed 345,178 USD and required correct configuration of consent management and employee training.

What organisations can take from it

A consent management platform does not relieve companies of responsibility: check regularly whether opt-outs are actually implemented technically.

Relevance to training and awareness

Configuration and monitoring of consent management platforms

Missing or inadequate training played a role in the decision.

18 Jun 2024 Amazon.com Services, LLCAmazon: 5.9 million USD – undisclosed productivity quotas in two warehouses (Warehouse Quotas Law) USA, CAWorking time €5.51m

Amazon did not inform employees at two warehouses in Moreno Valley and Redlands in writing of the productivity quotas that applied; the authority regarded the peer-to-peer rating system used as a quota within the meaning of the law, which prohibits quotas that prevent breaks, toilet visits or compliance with health and safety. For 59,017 violations between October 2023 and March 2024, the Labor Commissioner’s Office imposed 5,901,700 USD.

What organisations can take from it

Disclose performance metrics for employees, and do not let them effectively prevent breaks – even when they come in the guise of peer ratings.

8 Feb 2024 La Mina De Oro Inc., KD Distributors, Inc. und Desire Fragrances Inc.La Mina de Oro: 1 million USD – warehouse workers without daily overtime and genuine breaks USA, CAWorking time €929,541

Warehouse and sales staff were not paid for all hours worked, received overtime premiums only after 40 hours a week instead of after eight hours a day, and had to remain available to customers during rest and meal breaks. Following citations issued in 2021, the California Labor Commissioner’s Office agreed a settlement of 1 million USD for 107 employees.

What organisations can take from it

A break during which employees must remain available is legally working time – break arrangements must ensure genuine interruptions.

Relevance to training and awareness

Breaks are time off work – not standby
