Texas has launched a lawsuit against Allstate, claiming that their subsidiary Arity collected vast location data without consent, violating state privacy laws.
Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton stated that Allstate and Arity used apps to track drivers, adjusting insurance policies based on data collected without informed consent.
The lawsuit underscores a significant breach of privacy, as it alleges Allstate's actions disregarded Texas' Data Privacy and Security Act, which mandates clear notice about data use.
The collected data included comprehensive geolocation information and movement metrics, which were allegedly used to unfairly influence insurance rates.
