Almeida Law Group has filed a proposed class action against Lenovo, alleging that the company's website tracking and advertising systems facilitated bulk transfers of sensitive data from American users to entities linked to China. The lawsuit claims these actions violate the Justice Department's Data Security Program regulations established last year, aimed at preventing data acquisition by foreign adversaries.
