Rothman Orthopaedics – Website Wiretapping Violation Investigation

Shub Johns & Holbrook LLP launches an investigation into Rothman Orthopaedics following concerns that the company’s website may be tracking and intercepting sensitive patient information.

Rothman Orthopaedics is a Philadelphia-based healthcare corporation that provides care across Eastern Pennsylvania and New Jersey. The healthcare corporation, through its website, may be in potential violation of the Pennsylvania Wiretapping and Electronic Surveillance Control Act (WESCA).

The Rothman website may use a third-party web tracking pixel to intercept and collect private healthcare information from its patients and other consumers that interact with the website. This type of tracking often sends users targeted ads by monitoring web users’ website traffic and clicks. Users may feel this violates consumer privacy laws as Rothman may not receive consent from the user to allow tracking.

If you are a patient of Rothman Orthopaedics and have visited the Rothman website, and are concerned that the company may be tracking your private health data, let us know! Fill out our web form and join the investigation today!
