Lawsuits in Chicago Allege Delivery Robot Companies Collected Biometric Data Without Consent
Class-action lawsuits have been filed in Chicago against delivery robot companies Coco Robotics and Serve Robotics, alleging the companies violated privacy laws by scanning customers' faces and hands and collecting their biometric data without consent.
Biloxi Gulfport, MS, October 20, 2026 —
Class-action lawsuits filed in Chicago accuse delivery robot companies Coco Robotics and Serve Robotics of violating privacy laws by scanning customers’ faces and hands and collecting biometric data without their consent.
The claims are allegations in lawsuits; the information provided does not establish that a violation occurred. No details were provided about when the cases were filed, who brought them, which specific privacy laws they cite or what remedies the plaintiffs are seeking.
The available information also does not explain how the alleged scans took place, what biometric data was collected, how it may have been stored or used, or whether customers were notified. The companies’ responses to the allegations were not provided.
Further details about the cases, including their status and any court findings, were not included in the information available. The lawsuits’ class-action designation indicates that they were filed on behalf of a proposed group, but the size and definition of that group were not provided.
For now, the central issue described in the filings is whether the companies collected biometric information from customers without consent in a way that violated applicable privacy laws. The allegations remain unverified based on the information provided, and no outcome or subsequent action was specified.
