“A new class action suit has been filed against Apple concerning how much information is printed on online Apple Store receipts,” Justin Berka reports for Ars Technica.
“In the complaint seen by Ars Technica, two Miami residents are suing Apple for allegedly violating the Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA). Part of the FCRA states that no more than the last five digits of a credit or debit card number can be printed on a receipt, and that the expiration date cannot be printed on a receipt. The suit argues that Apple’s practice of putting the last four digits, expiration date, and other personal information on the receipt greatly increases the chances of identity theft, and violates the FCRA,” Berka reports.
Berka reports, “The law firm responsible for the suit has filed numerous other suites related to the FCRA.”
