The Electronic Frontier Foundation and Privacy Rights Clearinghouse have highlighted a significant issue with data brokers failing to register in states with mandatory laws. Their analysis indicates that many of these companies are not following local regulations, which prevents consumers from understanding what data is collected about them. This lack of compliance raises concerns about privacy and the accountability of data brokers, who handle sensitive personal information. The situation is compounded by recent data breaches, highlighting the risks associated with inadequate oversight in this industry.
According to an analysis by EFF and PRC, many data brokers have failed to register in various states, which may indicate potential legal violations.
Data brokers are supposed to help consumers understand what personal information is collected, but many are not complying with state registration requirements.
