The Federal Trade Commission announced that it is taking action against two location data companies after it said that they unlawfully tracked and sold private consumer information. Venntel and Gravy Analytics Inc., Venntel's parent company, are banned from “selling, disclosing, or using sensitive location data in any product or service,” a proposed order from the FTC states. The companies must also establish a sensitive data location program. A complaint alleges that Venntel and Gravy Analytics violated the FTC Act by collecting and selling consumer data without proper consent. The companies must also delete all sensitive data already collected if it is not compliant with the FTC's proposed order.

☆ What Boycott? Target foot traffic is up days after LGBTQ collection blowback began.

But while all the drama was unfolding, foot traffic was up at Target stores. Despite the outpouring of anti-Target sentiment (and false information) online and from right-wing politicians and pundits, foot traffic at Target stores for the last few days of May was up. From April 30 to May 27, 2023, Target saw a 69% increase in foot traffic compared to the same time period last year, Gravy Analytics found. To be sure, Target's foot traffic boost is part of a longer-term trend, Gravy Analytics noted in a blog post. Early in 2022, foot traffic at Target declined.

☆ Lawmakers press companies that collect U.S. consumer data to reveal how they buy and sell it

In the letters, 10 lawmakers asked the companies for detailed responses on the types of sensitive information they gather, such as health, location and phone data, including apps consumers download to their devices. The companies were also asked what information they collect on minors. Last month, the subcommittee on oversight and investigations held a hearing with expert witnesses to examine "the role of data brokers in the digital economy." In that report, the regulator recommended that Congress force brokers to give consumers greater control over their data, but the "data brokers can easily circumvent existing rules and laws," the letter said.
