Lege Trend. Data Broker Registries

Tim Cook (Apple) is recommending a Data Broker Registry.

What’s a data broker? they buy and sell data from third parties

So how would it work?

• every consumer can opt into their data being collected or not
• consumers would be able to remove their data from the registry
• the FTC would house the registry and consumers could see what info is being collected and by whom

Why does this sound familiar? Because in 2018 informed:intel told you about the first in the nation data broker state law in VT, and we gave you the bill text to create one in your state
