The California Privacy Protection Agency Board issued a decision and stipulated order requiring Iowa data broker LocateSmarter LLC to pay $116,490 and change its practices. The company failed to timely register as a data broker and unlawfully required Californians to provide the last four digits of their Social Security numbers before exercising opt-out rights, violating the CCPA's data minimization requirements. This is the first action against a data broker under both the CCPA and the Delete Act.

The California Privacy Protection Agency announced approval of regulations implementing the Delete Act, which will allow consumers to submit a single delete request to multiple data brokers via a new state-hosted platform (DROP). Data brokers must retrieve and process these requests every 45 days starting August 2026, deleting all associated personal data unless a legal exemption applies.
The FTC settled with data brokers X-Mode Social and Outlogic for selling precise location data without informed consent and failing to protect sensitive information. The proposed order bans the sale of sensitive location data, requires deletion of collected data, and mandates a comprehensive privacy program. This is the FTC's first action against a data broker for sensitive location data practices.
