Application for Authorization

CONSUMER LAW GROUP has instituted a Canada-wide class action lawsuit against Chinese-owned online shopping platform Temu for collecting more data from its users than is necessary and in a greater amount than what it discloses.

The class action was filed on behalf of the following class:

• All persons resident in Canada who used the Temu platform, or had electronic communications with Temu users, or who had their data stored on devices used by Temu users;

A U.S. class action was filed alleging that Temu "purposefully and intentionally loaded with tools to execute virulent and dangerous malware and spyware activities on user devices" and "misled people about how it uses their data."
