Home Depot

Allegations that Home Depot sold or disclosed in-store customers' personal information to advertisers without notice, in violation of Virginia privacy law.

Plaintiff William Wright filed a class action against Home Depot on July 1, 2026 in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Virginia. The complaint alleges that Home Depot collects personal information from in-store customers and sells or discloses it to third parties without notice, in violation of Virginia's Personal Information Privacy Act. According to the lawsuit, the data flows through Orange Apron Media, Home Depot's retail media network that lets brands target customers on its website, social channels and in stores, and through a LiveRamp data clean room used to build enhanced customer profiles. Wright seeks to represent a nationwide class and a Virginia subclass of customers whose information was sold or disclosed without notice. Home Depot has not yet responded publicly. No class has been certified and no settlement has been reached.

• Home Depot in-store customers in the United States whose personal information was allegedly sold or disclosed to third parties without notice.
• A separate Virginia subclass of customers covered by the Virginia Personal Information Privacy Act.
• Final class definitions will be set by the court.
