On Monday morning, Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton filed a lawsuit against Allstate insurance company in the District Court for Montgomery County, Texas. The lawsuit alleges that Allstate, along with its subsidiary data analytics company 'Arity,' illegally collected, used, and sold driving behavior data from over 45 million Americans.
Paxton claims that Allstate and Arity secretly gathered driving data from mobile devices, in-car devices, and vehicles to create what he calls the 'world’s largest driving behavior database,' containing 'trillions of miles' worth of data.
