30 Dec 2025 Rickenbacher Data LLC (Datamasters)CPPA: $45,000 against data broker Datamasters over failure to register USA, CAMarketing and consent €38,275

Without registering as a data broker, the Texas reseller traded in the names and contact details of millions of people, sorted by illnesses such as Alzheimer's or addiction, by age, presumed ethnicity and political views. In addition to the fine, the California Privacy Protection Agency (CPPA) requires it to stop selling data on all Californians.

What organisations can take from it

Companies that buy or sell address lists for advertising must check registration obligations – health-related lists are particularly risky.
