sharing

Gaps in existing laws have allowed the widespread sharing of biometric and other body-related data.

“A lot of the sharing or selling with third parties is outside the scope of what a consumer would reasonably expect.”

“Nonconsensual data sharing is a big issue,” Keserű said.

“Even if it’s biometric data or health data, a lot of the companies are just sharing that data without you knowing, and that is causing a lot of anxiety and questions.”

People are also sharing sensitive health information on health and wellness apps, including online mental health and counseling programs.
