Is Klaviyo in trouble? (2026)

Klaviyo is still live as of Aug 1, 2026, but our sensors flagged 1 dated, sourced signal. Most recent: On August 4, 2025, plaintiff Qui Nguyen filed a putative class action against Klaviyo, Inc. in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California, San Jose Division (case 5:25-cv-06551), alleging that Klaviyo's onsite tracking and 'identity resolution' technology collects information on the products consumers browse and purchase in real time without consent, in violation of the California Invasion of Privacy Act (CIPA).
