Vizio Smart TV Forced Privacy Software Update – Class Action Investigation
Chimicles Schwartz Kriner & Donaldson-Smith is investigating a potential class action on behalf of owners of Vizio smart televisions who have recently received notification about new privacy policy updates.
These mandatory software updates from Vizio require owners of these televisions, including older models, to agree to new privacy policies, allowing for extensive tracking of viewing habits and sharing of this data with third parties. If consumers do not agree to these terms, they risk losing access to the full range of core smart TV features, essentially “dumbing down” their televisions. Many affected owners, who have had their TVs for several years, report that these updates occurred even when auto-updates were seemingly disabled.
If you are an owner of a Vizio smart TV that has been subject to these recent software updates, please fill out the form provided below with details of your situation.
