Who Are Data Brokers? Data brokers are companies specialized in collecting personal data (web browsing activities, geolocation, political beliefs, etc.) from different sources, and selling or licensing such information to third parties for a variety of purposes.​

Data brokers typically collect, manipulate, and share information about consumers without interacting directly with them. Consumers are largely unaware that data brokers are engaging in these practices.​

How Do Data Brokers Collect Information?

How do data brokers collect information?​

Data brokers typically aggregate information through what’s publicly available on the internet and by buying it from other organizations. Common avenues for data sourcing are social media sites, public records, loyalty cards, online account setup, and mobile applications.  ​

  • Credit cards: Credit card networks sell user information​
  • Web browser cookies: Cookies are small text files that track and store your information as you browse the web.  ​
  • Public records: Marriage licenses, arrest records, voter registrations, motor vehicle records, census data, and bankruptcy records. ​
  • Retailers: Both brick-and-mortar and online merchants collect, track, and share your information. ​
  • Mobile apps: Mobile apps will gather information like email, phone, DOB, GPS location, sex, weight, interests, etc., and pass those details to data brokers.​

Other data sources include banks, insurance agencies, telecom companies, other data brokers, surveys, and sweepstakes.​
