CPM Consumer Fraud Team is investigating allegations that Allstate and Arity conspired to secretly collect and sell driving behavior data of over 45 million Americans. Reports detail that Defendants created this database to profit from the sale of driving behavior data to other insurance carriers.
Allstate’s data broker subsidiary, Arity, paid third party application developers millions to use their software development kit (“SDK”), which covertly downloaded tracking software on user phones. Allstate’s SDK then collected trillions of miles of driver behavior data for 45 million Americans. Allstate sold this information to other insurers and used this information as a basis to deny coverage, increase insurance premiums, or drop existing coverage.
If you used Routely, Life360, GasBuddy, or Fuel Rewards, you may be entitled to damages from Allstate’s covert and deceptive data collection practices.
Insurance companies like Allstate must treat their insureds and drivers fairly, and Allstate needs to be held to account when it knowingly and secretly creates an illegal database of consumer data.
