(Reuters) - Two consumer data brokers that sold information used to track individuals' religious and political beliefs, pregnancy status and more agreed to stop using data on visits to sensitive locations, the U.S. Federal Trade Commission said on Tuesday.
The FTC accused Mobilewalla and Gravy Analytics of engaging in unfair and deceptive practices by gathering location data without ensuring it had been obtained with the individuals' consent.
