LiveRamp flagged for extensive privacy violations to UK, French regulators
LiveRamp is the subject of a 61-page report by Vienna’s Cracked Labs research institute, which claims the company operates mass identity surveillance. The report submitted to UK & French, claims LiveRamp, which houses information on 700 million global consumers, facilitates identity trading with third parties via its proprietary RampID, which is used by customers to exchange data with 500+ third parties. Problem is tRampIDs, despite being pseudonymized, track information and learn about individuals over time, which means third parties can cross-match data to identify and advertise to individuals.
