In a brief sworn declaration, Burrill says he may have used Grindr as early as 2012.
“I do not recall seeing an arbitration agreement with Grindr,” Burrill says.
“Because I do not recall seeing an arbitration agreement, I also do not recall if I ever opted out of an arbitration agreement.”.
In their court papers, Burrill’s lawyers state that there are no facts showing an enforceable arbitration agreement between Burrill and Grindr.
According to Burrill’s suit, Grindr “falsely and misleadingly represents” that it does not sell its users’ data and that it takes steps to protect an individual’s privacy.
“Plaintiff*s reputation was immediately destroyed and he has received an endless river of worrisome threats and hate mail,” the suit states.
“He was forced to leave his position as general secretary with the USCCB and his upward trajectory to the position of bishop has been permanently derailed.” »
