Re: Notice of Dispute Concerning Refills’ Privacy Violations
To Whom It May Concern:
I hereby provide notice of my individual dispute with Refills Health LLC, together with its subsidiaries, affiliates, agents, and related entities (collectively, “Refills”), arising out of my use of Refills’ website, health-intake flow, quiz, and/or product-matching flow and its use of third-party code, software processes, and similar technologies on its digital platforms (collectively, the “Tracking Tools”) that caused or permitted third parties to receive, read, attempt to read, learn, capture, transmit, disclose, share, or use information associated with my electronic communications with Refills and my activity on its digital platforms, without my prior, informed consent or legal authorization.
Nature and Basis of Dispute
I used Refills’ website one or more times during the period relevant to this dispute while I was located in {state}. To the best of my recollection, this occurred approximately within the past {typeA156} before this Notice.
When I visited Refills’ website, I was not presented with a typical shopping or browsing experience. Instead, Refills promptly directed me toward prompts such as “Get Started,” “Explore” or similar calls to action. Those prompts led me into a structured health-intake flow that asked me to provide personal and medical information before I could meaningfully evaluate, access, or obtain Refills’ products or services.
As part of that intake process, Refills asked me questions about sensitive health-related topics, including my medication use, health and sexual health history, health goals, and related information. I understood that I was providing this information to Refills so Refills could evaluate my eligibility, generate recommendations, or offer prescription-related products or services. I was not clearly told, before providing my health-intake information, that my sensitive health-intake answers, the health-related pages I viewed, or identifiers linked to me or my device would be captured or transmitted in real time to TikTok, ByteDance, Mountain, or other third parties.
Based on my current understanding, Refills caused or permitted the contents of my website communications, together with persistent identifiers and session data linked to me or my device, to be captured, accessed, disclosed, or transmitted in real time to one or more third parties, including but not limited to TikTok, ByteDance, Mountain, Microsoft Bing, Snapchat, Taboola, Facebook, Reddit, and Twitter/X. These transmissions included or revealed the contents, substance, or meaning of my communications and activity on Refills.com, including my health-intake answers, the specific medication names and medication types I selected or was shown, my health-related goals, and descriptive page URLs and page titles identifying specific medications and conditions as applicable. Separately, and in the alternative, the same transmissions included non-content routing, addressing, signaling, source-identifying, browser-identifying, device-identifying, and session-identifying information associated with my interactions with Refills.com—e.g., page URLs, referrer information, pageview and event information, timestamps, IP-address information, browser and device information, user-agent information, persistent identifiers, cookies, and session-related identifiers—sufficient to identify, profile, retarget, or link me across platforms and sessions.
I would not have knowingly agreed—and did not knowingly agree—to have my Refills health-intake communications, identifiers, URLs, cookies, IP-related data, or session activity sent in real time to TikTok, or any of the other third-party vendors identified above. I am also not aware of any court order authorizing Refills, TikTok, or any related vendor to install, deploy, or use tracking tools to decode, access, transmit, or otherwise process information associated with my website communications. Additionally, TikTok, its relationship with ByteDance, and the Chinese government have been the subject of serious congressional, executive, and Supreme Court-recognized national-security concerns involving large-scale data collection, profiling, and potential foreign-adversary access to U.S. users’ personal information. Those concerns would have been especially important to me because I was not merely browsing a general retail site—I was providing sensitive health-related information in what I understood to be a prescription-related intake process.
Refills did not provide me with clear, conspicuous, and meaningful prior notice that my health-intake communications and related identifiers would be captured, disclosed, or transmitted to TikTok, Mountain, or the other vendors identified above. To the extent Refills presented any privacy disclosure, terms, or other notice later in the process, that later notice did not provide meaningful prior authorization and could not retroactively authorize information that had already been captured, accessed, disclosed, or transmitted.
I was harmed because Refills allowed sensitive health-related information and identifiers associated with me to be shared with third parties without my prior, informed, and meaningful consent. This deprived me of control over my private information, exposed my health-related website communications to third-party tracking and advertising systems, and subjected me to the risk that my information could be used for profiling, targeting, or other commercial purposes unrelated to the treatment or prescription-related reason I believed I was providing the information.
I contend this conduct violates applicable federal law, including the Electronic Communications Privacy Act, 18 U.S.C. §§ 2510 et seq., and state privacy, wiretapping, consumer-protection, or electronic-surveillance laws, including laws prohibiting the unauthorized collection, interception, disclosure, sharing, sale, marketing use, or other non-treatment use of health-related or individually identifiable information without valid notice, consent, authorization, or other lawful basis. These claims include, where applicable, statutory and common-law privacy remedies, unfair or deceptive acts and practices remedies, and remedies under the laws of my state and any other applicable jurisdiction.
Relief Sought
I seek all individual relief available to me under federal law, the laws of my home state, and any other applicable jurisdiction, including statutory, liquidated, punitive, and nominal damages; restitution or disgorgement where available; injunctive and declaratory relief; attorneys’ fees, costs, and interest; and any other relief available at law, in equity, or by contract. To the extent the law of my state of residence or the state where my data was collected separately protects against the unauthorized collection, use, disclosure, release, sharing, sale, retention, or failure to protect medical information, confidential medical information, consumer health data, sensitive health information, prescription- or medication-related information, sexual-health information, or other health-related information about me, I also seek all individual relief available under those laws.
I also preserve all additional and non-waivable rights and remedies available under the laws of my state and any other applicable jurisdiction. I further seek non-monetary relief requiring Refills to stop using the Tracking Tools or similar technologies to collect, disclose, profile, or monetize my health-intake data and to delete improperly collected data associated with me. Because the precise number of violations and available remedies depend on records in Refills’, TikTok’s, ByteDance’s, Mountain’s, and related vendors’ possession, I reserve the right to supplement this demand and damages calculation after those records are provided.
I ask that Refills preserve all records relevant to my claim and provide sufficient information for my counsel and me to evaluate an informal resolution. I authorize Refills to communicate with my counsel identified below regarding this dispute and to disclose to my counsel records and information concerning my account or associated with my use of Refills.com that are reasonably necessary to identify my relevant interactions, determine what tracking technologies were active during those interactions, evaluate what information was collected or transmitted, calculate relief, and discuss informal resolution.
Request for Informal / Pre-Arbitration Resolution
I am providing this Notice in good faith as my written description of the Dispute before initiating formal proceedings and to afford Refills an opportunity to discuss an informal resolution of my dispute. If this dispute is not resolved informally within 30 days after Refills receives this Notice, I intend to pursue all available rights and remedies in any available forum and through any available procedure, including individual arbitration before the American Arbitration Association. If I initiate individual arbitration, I will request that Refills pay all AAA filing, administrative, and arbitrator fees pursuant to Refills’ own Terms, Terms of Service (June 2026), https://www.refills.com/terms-conditions. In pursuing individual arbitration under Refills’ Terms, I reserve all objections to any interpretation, application, or provision of Refills’ Terms that is unlawful, unconscionable, non-mutual, procedurally defective, inconsistent with applicable law, or used to limit my substantive rights, remedies, fees, costs, discovery, limitations periods, representative or non-waivable rights, or ability to obtain relief available under applicable law. I also reject, and do not consent to, any unilateral modification of Refills’ terms, privacy policy, or any other purportedly applicable terms unless I affirmatively agree in a separate signed writing.
This Notice is not a complete statement of all facts, claims, legal theories, damages, remedies, defenses, responses, objections, or grounds. I reserve the right to amend, supplement, refine, or expand this Notice and my requested relief based on additional information, Refills’ records, vendor records, arbitration, litigation, discovery, motion practice, expert analysis, or further investigation. I reserve all rights, claims, remedies, arguments, and objections.
Please confirm receipt of this Notice and direct all communications regarding this dispute to my counsel listed below.
Sincerely,
