Amazon faces a potential class-action lawsuit on accusations the company violated a groundbreaking Washington law meant to protect the privacy of consumer health data.

It’s the first case of its kind.

The complaint, filed in U.S. District Court in Seattle, alleges Amazon’s advertising network, embedded in various phone applications, harvested consumer data without consent. This data, including location information, is then used for targeted advertising, according to the lawsuit.
