Internet Service Provider Settles FTC Privacy Charges
Company Disclosed Personal Information of Nearly One Million Consumers
An Internet company that provides shopping cart software to online
merchants has agreed to settle Federal Trade Commission charges
that it rented personal information about merchants' customers to
marketers, knowing that such disclosure contradicted merchant privacy
policies. The settlement will bar use of the personal data the company
has already collected, as well as future misrepresentations about
the collection, use, or disclosure of personally identifiable information.
The settlement also requires the company to ensure that consumers
receive a clear and conspicuous notice before their personal information
is disclosed to other companies for marketing purposes. Finally,
the settlement requires that the company give up the fees it made
renting the consumer information.
Vision I Properties, LLC, doing business as CartManager International,
provides shopping cart software and related services to thousands
of online merchants. When consumers are ready to make a purchase,
they enter information on "shopping cart" and "check
out" pages that ask for their name, address, phone number,
e-mail address, credit card number, and merchandise. The pages are
designed to look like the other pages on the merchants' sites, and
typically display the merchants' names and logos, but are actually
located on the CartManager site.
