Lawsuit: Allstate used GasBuddy and other apps to quietly track driving behavior

[LeftInTX]

21. So, I'm reading the complaint. I'm thinking this applies to consumers who used certain apps.

Consumers who downloaded apps that use Arity software, had their geolocation data shared with Allstate without their permission.

So is the complaint about consumers who didn't have the Allstate app, but had the Gas Buddy app? (Sharing data without permission)

I'm wondering if the complaint includes those who signed the TOS with the Allstate App? https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.allstate.view&hl=en_US&pli=1


There is also a complaint about this app https://www.life360.com/ca/



To potentially account for the Arity Data’s limitations, Defendants sought to
combine the SDK Data with data collected directly from vehicles. As a result, Defendants began
purchasing consumers’ driving-related data from car manufacturers, such as Toyota, Lexus,
Mazda, Chrysler, Dodge, Fiat, Jeep, Maserati, and Ram
On information and belief, consumers did
not consent, nor were otherwise aware that, Defendants purchased their driving-related data from
these car manufacturers.
