The Second Appellate District affirmed in part and reversed in part a judgment. The court held that the privacy protections of Song-Beverly Credit Card Act are not contingent on whether or not a consumer uses his or her personal credit card for consumer purposes only or, instead, primarily for business.
Vincent Archer and Alistair Cochran separately purchased goods from stores owned by United Rentals, Inc. Each of them paid with a credit card. As a condition to accepting Archer’s credit card as payment, United Rentals requested Archer’s residential address, city, and ZIP code, and recorded the information on the sales invoice and in its computer database. As a condition to accepting Cochran’s credit card as payment, United Rentals requested his driver’s license, which contained personal identification information, including his name and residence address. United Rentals recorded the information on the invoice and in its computer database.
