Delta Defense LLC and United States Concealed Carry Association Inc. agreed to pay $1.45 million to settle a class action lawsuit alleging they violated the Video Privacy Protection Act by using third-party website technology, such as the Meta pixel, to collect and share subscribers’ video-viewing information with third parties without obtaining consent.
