In an attempt to find out how data brokerage companies work and operate, the Federal Trade Commission has ordered data brokers in the U.S. to reveal to the agency how they harvest and use data on consumers. Around nine data brokerage companies were enlisted including Acxiom, Corelogic, Datalogix, eBureau, ID Analytics, Intelius, Peekyou, Rapleaf, and Recorded Future. The FTC is planning to use the gathered information to study the industry's privacy practices.
Under the law, data brokers are not required to disclose the information that they have collected to consumers.
