Notable Quotes 2
The plaintiffs contend that the 'datapass' procedure, by which e-merchants share customers' credit card and billing information with Trilegiant without requiring that the customers re-enter that information on the Trilegiant enrollment page, constitutes an unlawful interception of an electronic communication under the ECPA.
The enrollment pages display text informing customers that by entering their name or date of birth and selecting 'YES,' p122] they authorize the release of information to Trilegiant, including their 'name, email address, and credit card or debit card information to Great Fun for enrollment, billing, (**9] and benefit processing.'
