Summary

The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau launched an inquiry into business practices of data brokers in March 2023. A key goal of this new initiative is to create strict rules that protect consumers from such predatory data practices. The inquiry mandates that if a broker asks a consumer to provide information a consumer does not wish to share, the process must simply end with the consumer reporting the incident. To ensure effective consumer protection against these data brokers, the bureau aims to establish clear and rigorous protocols that enforce safety and privacy for every user.
