CALGARY — A Canadian class action lawsuit has been filed against the creator of Pokemon Go on behalf of a property owner who says she's suffering from an invasion of privacy.
The lawsuit on behalf of Barbra-Lyn Schaeffer has been filed in Calgary and has not been certified by the courts.
Schaeffer and her husband say they've been inundated by Pokemon Go players at their home in the hamlet of Torrington, 160 kilometres northeast of Calgary.
She says she has no idea why her home is the site of a Pokemon gym, where players can duel it out.
Schaeffer raises dogs and says the canines are unhappy about the unwelcome prowlers — especially at night.
She says she asked Niantic, the creator of the game, to remove her residence as a so-called Pokestop but received only an automatic reply from the company.
Schaeffer says she launched the lawsuit out of frustration and just wants her privacy back.
