Cothron v. White Castle System, Inc.

Summary

The court held that claims under sections 15(b) and 15(d) accrue separately each time an entity collects or transmits biometric information without the required consent, rather than only upon the first collection or transmission. Applying the plain language of the statute, the court concluded that each scan is a collection or capture and each transmission is a disclosure or dissemination. The certified question was answered accordingly.
