Allstate Sued for Secretly Tracking Drivers via GasBuddy and Other Apps

Texas is suing Allstate, alleging the insurance company and its data subsidiary Arity used data from apps like GasBuddy and Life360 to secretly track drivers and adjust or cancel policies. The lawsuit claims Allstate paid millions to these apps to install tracking software, collecting trillions of miles of location data from over 45 million people, violating Texas' Data Privacy and Security Act. This marks the first-ever state action targeting comprehensive data privacy violations, raising serious concerns about data privacy in the insurance industry.
