Terri Tourist, a resident of Fresno, California, purchased a plane ticket from Global Airlines. The flight was scheduled to leave from Fresno and arrive in Atlanta, Georgia, on December 31, 2021. Terri later decided to change the flight to the next day – January 1, 2022. When Terri contacted Global Airlines to make the adjustment to her reservation, she learned for the first time that Global Airlines used a company named QuickSeat to do the real-time seat assignments for their customers, including Terri’s seat assignment on both the December 31 and January 1 flights. Knowing that the CCPA considers of sale of personal information to include “any disclosure” of personal information to another company, Terri contacted the California Attorney General’s Office with her complaint. What defense is Global Airlines likely to assert?
