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.
