Now compare that to another one listed [infocore]: To opt-out of spydialer.com, you go to https://www.spydialer.com/Consumers/ , then you have to provide all of the information you think it has on you to verify your identity and selectively remove it from their services.

Until that company then turns around and sells your data. Looking at you Unroll.me

#35> a “data broker” is in the business of aggregating and selling data about consumers with whom the business does not have a direct relationship I had to make a few clicks to find the definition, more details here (scroll down to section 1c): http://leginfo.legislature.ca.gov/faces/billTextClient.xhtml...
Lot of companies still need to register. * LinkedIn - Sell your data via Sales Navigator * ZoomInfo - Scrape your email account and sell the data to other businesses - https://www.zoominfo.com/business/about-zoominfo/privacy-pol... * DiscoverOrg * Clearbit - Browser extension scrapes your emails for data and they sell it to others via their "free browser-based add-ons, extensions, or plug-ins" - https://clearbit.com/…
LinkedIn is really Microsoft. No surprise there that they fully endorse the selling of their users data.
Re: Data Brokers
#36I see six entries. Where's Google, Facebook, etc?
Odd that you would leave out Microsoft. Did you conveniently forget that one of their companies (LinkedIn) has been selling their users data to the highest bidder?

Google is aggregating search queries. And they are selling my search query to the highest bidder with whom I'm not having a direct relationship. That sounds like a search broker to me.

The law[1] specifically excludes " A consumer reporting agency to the extent that it is covered by the federal Fair Credit Reporting Act (15 U.S.C. Sec. 1681 et seq.)." [1] http://leginfo.legislature.ca.gov/faces/billNavClient.xhtml?...
So what pains does this legislation solve? To me it seemed outrageous that a company I had no dealings with, accumulated data on me without my consent, and above all - their data was breached. I thought that's what this legislation was trying to address.
Blacking out credit history would obliterate lending, which would in turn collapse asset prices and lead to a complete restructuring of entire industries and society itself. If that were on the table, you would’ve heard.
This is primarily about the companies that buy your phone number from your gym membership or supermarket loyalty card and sell it to telemarketers. They won’t be missed.

If you use Google to search (or use Chrome or gmail or...) then you have a direct relationship with Google, meaning Google is not a data broker.

"Existing law, the California Consumer Privacy Act of 2018, beginning January 1, 2020, among other things, grants a consumer a right to request a business to disclose the categories and specific pieces of personal information that it collects about the consumer, the categories of sources from which that information is collected, the business purposes for collecting or selling the information, and the categories of third parties with which the information is shared."
The new law requires companies to tell us who are they sharing our personal information with. Applying common sense law -- this sounds like anyone who sells my personal information to a third party with whom I'm not having a direct relationship - that gets covered.
The Ad I see on the top of my search query seems based on personal information that was sold to a third party.
