A proposed class action alleges Intuit has secretly disclosed the identities and video-viewing habits of TurboTax and QuickBooks subscribers to Facebook without consent.

The 20-page lawsuit claims that the financial software company, which owns and operates TurboTax.Intuit.com and QuickBooks.Intuit.com, discloses consumers’ personal information and video-viewing activity to Facebook as they watch educational videos on either site.
