While the DOJ's slow grind is working on RealPage and six multi-state landlords, Ken Paxton is pursuing Allstate and Arity, a databroker incubated under Allstate, to collect, model, and resell driving data of Americans, collecting "trillions of miles" on consumers and often reselling those data profiles to other insurers.
It's widely understood that the largest insurers push their on-board telematics trackers as a means for discounting raising premiums based on "safe driving habits," but in this case, Arity was buying telematics data from third-party apps installed on consumers' smartphones and vehicles.
Known apps which Arity buys data from includes Fuel Rewards, Life360, GasBuddy, MyRadar, Routely, and some SiriusXM devices. Allstate also bought this data directly from automakers, including Stellantis, Toyota, Lexus, and Mazda.
