Here are the data brokers quietly buying and selling your personal information
You’ve probably never heard of many of the data firms registered under a new law, but they’ve heard a lot about you.
It’s no secret that your personal data is routinely bought and sold by dozens, possibly hundreds, of companies. What’s less known is who those companies are, and what exactly they do.

Google and data brokers accused of illegally collecting people’s data: report
A campaigner says much of the world’s online advertising industry doesn’t comply with Europe’s privacy rules.
Google and several data brokers are violating the EU's privacy rules by harvesting people's personal information to build highly detailed online profiles, including some firms' collection of information on sexual orientation, health status and religious beliefs, according to a report published on Monday.
The accusations — from Johnny Ryan, a senior fellow at the Irish Council for Civil Liberties, an NGO — come 18 months after Ireland's privacy regulator began a probe into how Google collects and shares people's online information for its advertising business.
