In September, two New Jersey courts made opposite rulings on whether retailers can collect ZIP codes as a condition of using a credit card, reports the Hunton & Williams Privacy and Information Security Law Blog. On September 16, a New Jersey Superior Court judge denied Harmon Stores' motion to dismiss a class-action suit claiming the store's policy on collecting ZIP codes violates the Truth-in-Consumer Contract, Warranty and Notice Act (TCCWNA). Ten days later, a U.S. District Court judge dismissed a case against Williams-Sonoma alleging the same violations, saying that a credit card transaction does not constitute a "written consumer contract" under TCCWNA, and, even if it did, a ZIP code "does not constitute a contract provision that violates an individual's rights." Editor's Note: Read about the California Supreme Court's decision in a similar case against Williams Sonoma in the story "California Supreme Court rules that ZIP codes are personal identification information" from the March edition of the IAPP's Privacy Advisor newsletter.
