> Dunkin Donuts L.L.C. for allegedly having an inaccessible website.
>
> The case is part of a trend, with more courts ruling against companies
> over the issue of website accessibility, while the number of lawsuits
> alleging ADA violations related to website access grows dramatically.
>
> The case decided Tuesday involved Dennis Haynes, who is blind and relies

> Circuit Court of Appeals in Atlanta in Dennis Haynes v. Dunkin? Donuts
> L.L.C., a foreign limited liability company, DD IP Holder L.L.C., CashStar
> Inc.
>
> Mr. Haynes sued Canton, Mass-based Dunkin Donuts in U.S. District Court in
> Fort Lauderdale, Florida, claiming the company violated Title III of the
> ADA by not maintaining a website compatible with screen reading software.
>
> The District Court dismissed the case, which was overturned by a unanimous
> three-judge appeals court panel. It appears Dunkin? Donuts? website ?is a
> service that facilitates the use of Dunkin Donuts? shops, which are places
> of public accommodation,? the ruling states.
>
> Under the ADA, ?whatever goods and services Dunkin? Donuts offers as a
> part of its place of public accommodation, it cannot discriminate against
> people on the basis of a disability, even if those goods and services are
> intangible,? the ruling says.
>
> Mr. Haynes could not access services offered online by Dunkin? Donuts?,
> including information about store locations and the ability to buy gift
> cards online.
>
> ?The failure to make those services accessible to the blind can be said to
> exclude, deny, or otherwise treat blind people ?differently than other
> individuals because of the absence of auxiliary aids and services,?? said
> the ruling, in quoting the ADA and remanding the case for further

> Students With Disabilities Sue ACT Over Release of Personal Information
> Education Week
> August 7, 2018
> By Catherine Gewertz
>
> A group of college-bound students with special needs and their parents
> filed suit Monday against ACT Inc., claiming the the testmaker illegally
> disclosed to colleges that they have disabilities.
>
> The class action suit, filed in U.S. District Court in Los Angeles,
> challenges the way the Iowa-based company uses information about students
> with disabilities. It collects that information as part of the "profile"
> students fill out online as they register for the college-admission exam,
> and an information form that students complete on the day of the exam.
>
> Introductory text in the profile tells students they can skip any question
> they don't want to answer, but says it's intended to "help you think about
> your future education and to help colleges in their planning."
>
> But instead of keeping it confidential, the suit says, ACT shares it with
> colleges by "flagging" their test-score reports, indicating that the scores
> were earned by someone who took the exam with accommodations.
>
> ACT and the College Board, which makes the SAT, agreed years ago to stop
> flagging the test scores of students who take the exam with accommodations,
> after that practice drew widespread criticism.
>
> But the new lawsuit says that the version of the score report that ACT
> sends to colleges shows information about disabilities, while the version
> that goes to students and their high schools does not.
>
> Using students' personal information that way "stigmatizes" them as they
> apply to college, Rahul Ravipudi, one of the attorneys on the students'
> legal team, says in a prepared statement.
>
> Edward Colby, a spokesman for ACT, said the company doesn't comment on
> pending litigation.
>
> The lawsuit also takes issue with ACT for selling students' information to
> colleges, scholarship programs, and other organizations for recruitment and
> marketing.
>
> It says that ACT sells a searchable database to enrollment managers at
> colleges, and bills it as a way to find the "right students for your
> institution," and provide the right support so students can succeed. But
> that information can also help colleges "create markets that intentionally
> exclude categories of students based upon the data elements provided,
> including students with disabilities," the suit says.
>
> "ACT profits off these violations and uses them to gain an edge in the
> marketplace over its only competitor, the College Board, which does not
> disclose students' disabilities to colleges and universities," the lawsuit
> says.
>
> The students-from families in California, Colorado and Nevada-claim that
> their work prospects could be affected, also, because the data report
> created by ACT's WorkKeys assessment-a popular career-readiness
> test-suggests that they took that exam with accommodations. "Tens of
> thousands of employers may have access to this data at any given time," the
> lawsuit says.
>
> The lawsuit describes how ACT's information-sharing practices played out
> for the students. Halie Bloom, who lives in Newport Beach, Calif.,
> graduated from high school this past spring. Because of
> attention-deficit-hyperactivity disorder and a reading disability, she's
> had an individualized education plan, or IEP, since middle school.
>
> Bloom took the ACT several times with approved accommodations. ACT
> acquired the information about her disability from her test-registration
> process. The score reports it sent to the colleges she requested included a
> notation that she had a "learning or cognitive disability."
>
> Bloom will attend the University of Arizona in the fall. But she believes
> that colleges and scholarship organizations may have declined to consider
> her after ACT shared her disability status with them.
>
> "I was shocked to learn that ACT was using my disability information
> against me and making it more difficult for me to get into college and get
> the money I need to go to college," Bloom said in a prepared statement.
> "I'm speaking out, because I know that someone has to stand up for all of
> the students who are scared about how their disabilities will be used
> against them."
>
> The lawsuit seeks a court order that would bar ACT from collecting or
> disclosing students' disability status to third parties as of the next
> administration of the test, in September. It also seeks damages for
> violation of students' privacy and civil rights.
