State law explainer

California CIPA §631 (wiretapping) and §638.51 (pen register / trap and trace), the federal Wiretap Act, Florida FSCA, and Washington MHMDA are the statutes plaintiffs use against website tracking. Risk factors: capturing form content before submission, resolving identities without disclosure, and lacking an opt-out.

What Deanonymized does to reduce exposure: no capture of typed content except an email field on submit, GPC honoured by default, per-state geofence switch (block CA, FL or WA resolution if your counsel advises), hosted opt-out, generated disclosure language, consent ledger export.

Not legal advice.
