FTC Orders Data Broker Mobilewalla to Delete Years of GPS Tracking Data
The Federal Trade Commission ordered data broker Mobilewalla to delete years of GPS location data it had collected from consumers without meaningful consent. The FTC found Mobilewalla had sold precise location data to third parties, including data on visits to health clinics and places of worship. The order required data deletion, barred future collection without affirmative consent, and imposed ongoing compliance monitoring.
