If you visited American Home Shield's website in the past 24 months, hidden session replay technology may have secretly recorded your clicks, scrolls, keystrokes, and personal data — all without your knowledge or consent. This could violate Florida's Security of Communications Act and federal privacy laws. Florida residents may be entitled to compensation at no upfront cost.
