Is Your Internet Provider Selling Your Personal Data?
For the last few years the question of Internet Service Providers (ISPs) selling your data has been up for debate. Put simply, in the United States, Canada and most Western countries it was illegal for ISP’s to sell your data, but that all changed in 2017 when then US President Trump walked back internet privacy rules.
Today several investigations are underway to determine if ISP’s are selling your data. However, even if they are not, it is clear that you are unlikely to be aware that they have started to sell it in the future, until months or years after it has already happened.
WHAT CAN YOUR INTERNET PROVIDER SEE?
Obviously, the company that connects you to the internet (your ISP) can see all of your internet activity.
