SDNY COURTHOUSE,
June 8 –
Lemonade Insurance Company has
been sued for allegedly
unlawful collection, storage,
analysis and use of its
customers' biometric
data.
On May 31,
U.S. District Court for the
Southern District of New York
Magistrate Judge Sarah Netburn
held a conference. Inner City
Press covered it.
The
complaint notes that Lemonade
"touts is ability to extract
1,600 data points about a
customer by asking only 13
questions."
On May 31,
allegations were made about
Lemonade's use of iris scans,
fingerprints, voiceprints and
hand and face geometry scans,
and to a similar case in
Illinois.
A stay of
discovery was requested.
Judge Netburn said she would
take it under advisement and
rule soon.
On June 1 Judge
Netburn ordered that since the
parties will not resolve their
dispute through the putative
class action settlement in
Illinois, a discovery schedule
was due on June 8.
On June 8, the
parties filed the schedule,
based off the Court entering
the parties stipulation: close
of fact discovery, 10 months;
filing of disposive motions in
16 months.
The case is
Pruden v. Lemonade, Inc. et
al., 21-cv-7070 (Koeltl /
Netburn)
