NEW YORK, Dec. 14, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- TheGrantLawFirm, PLLC (“GrantFirm”) and Longman Law, PC (“Longman”) are presently investigating claims that the Kroger grocery chain is illegally tracking its customers who use its website through the use of tracking tools. The investigation concerns whether Kroger has installed certain tracking or other devices on its website that unlawfully transmit protected healthcare information of its customers who use the website to order or refill prescriptions, or to make appointments at its Little Clinics or similar healthcare facilities in violation of HIPAA, among other statutes. The Little Clinics are located inside select Krogers, Fry’s, Jay C. Dillions and King Soopers stores in Ohio, Kansas, Kentucky, Tennessee, Arizona, Georgia, Indiana, Virginia and Colorado. The tracking tools also capture the customer’s IP address and other personal information. This information may be sent to Facebook. Customers or patients were never notified by Kroger about its use of tracking tools.
If you have used or are currently using Kroger’s website for your pharmacy needs, or have used or are using Kroger’s Little Clinics or other healthcare facilities, we would like to speak to you to assess whether you have a claim against Kroger. The assessment is free, and you pay nothing unless we recover for you.
