Shady data brokers shut down by FTC for selling confidential location data!

Shady data brokers shut down by FTC for selling confidential location data!

Ever wondered how your personal information is being collected and used by companies? It turns out that some are not entirely transparent about it, which can be concerning for consumers. Here are some key points to consider:

  • Companies may misrepresent how they collect, maintain, use, delete, or disclose consumers’ personal information, leaving consumers in the dark about the extent of data collection and sharing.
  • Sensitive location data from places like health clinics, religious organizations, correctional facilities, labor union offices, LGBTQ+ related locations, political gatherings, and military installations may be used, transferred, sold, and disclosed without consumers’ explicit knowledge or consent.

This lack of transparency raises questions about privacy and data protection. As consumers, it is essential to be aware of how our personal information is being handled and demand clear and honest practices from companies. Stay informed and advocate for your privacy rights in the digital age.
