AT&T Sued by CA Customers for Selling Location Data to
AT&T was sued this week in the Northern District of California by customers alleging that AT&T sold their location data to data aggregators without their consent. The proposed class action suit was filed on behalf of all AT&T wireless customers from 2011 to date.
The suit alleges that AT&T sold customers' location data to LocationSmart and Zumigo, third party service providers that provide location-based services to corporations without AT&T customers' consent. Wireless companies agreed to limit the sale of location data last year at the request of several members of Congress.
