The FTC proposed a consent order against Global Tel*Link Corp. for failing to secure sensitive user data, leading to a breach affecting nearly 650,000 consumers, and for delaying notification for about nine months. The order requires the company to implement a comprehensive security program, notify affected users with credit monitoring, and report future breaches promptly.
The FTC released a staff report based on Section 6(b) orders to six major ISPs, finding they collect extensive personal data, including internet traffic and location data, and share it with third parties. The ISPs often obscure data use disclosures in fine print and make it difficult for consumers to opt out, while combining data to profile sensitive characteristics. The report highlights the need for stricter privacy restrictions.
