Steven Siegler v. Best Buy Co. of Minnesota, Inc., 519 F. App'x 604

Siegler purchased a computer mouse from Best Buy and returned it the next day.
A cashier requested Siegler’s driver’s license to complete the return.
Siegler voluntarily presented his license and Best Buy scanned the magnetic stripe without warning.
Siegler demanded deletion of the magnetic-stripe data, but Best Buy claimed deletion was not possible.
Siegler sued Best Buy under 18 U.S.C. § 2724(a) (DPPA) alleging knowing obtainment, disclosure, or use of personal information from a motor vehicle record.
The district court dismissed; on appeal, the circuit court affirmed, holding the DPPA regulates disclosures from state DMVs, not private collection.

Issue	Plaintiff's Argument	Defendant's Argument	Held
Does the DPPA extend to private entities that obtain information from individuals rather than DMVs?	Siegler argues DPPA prohibits improper use or disclosure of DMV-derived information by private parties.	Best Buy contends the DPPA targets disclosures from state DMVs, not private collection from individuals.	No; the DPPA does not extend to Best Buy's private collection; claim dismissed.
