Critically, these apps are not associated with Allstate.
Things like gas price apps, family monitoring apps.
In its complaint, filed in federal court, Texas requested that Allstate be ordered to pay a penalty of $7,500 per violation of the state’s data privacy law and $10,000 per violation of the state’s insurance code, which would likely amount to millions of dollars given the number of consumers allegedly affected.
The lawsuit also asks the court to make Allstate delete all the data it obtained through actions that allegedly violated the privacy law and to make full restitution to customers harmed by the companies’ actions.
Yeah. because deleting the data is going to get it out of the hands of all the people they already sold it too. (including other insurers.)
Also, WTF is with the “Right to Cure”?! Like. Seriously. Companies have already decided the risk of getting caught is acceptable, so now you’ll just, let them get off the hook for free? simply by stopping the illegal action? Sorry. People have been harmed by this. “I won’t do it again” is not enough.
Because he doesn’t want to go to jail.
