The lawsuit accuses Temu of violating customer privacy rights because it collected the information through ​​"deceptive" and “unscrupulous” practices. Among the alleged data collection is access to user photos, texts, biometrics, and other sensitive data.

The lawsuit explains that users are vulnerable when they download and use the app because the​​ "app is purposefully and intentionally loaded with tools to execute virulent and dangerous malware and spyware activities on user devices” and that “Temu misled people about how it uses their data.”
