Texas Insider Report: AUSTIN Texas Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton has filed an objection to the proposed sale of the personally identifiable information of 117 million RadioShack customers. General Paxton released the following statement:
The protection of private sensitive and personally identifiable information is of growing importance to the people of Texas and to people around the nation. RadioShack gave customers explicit assurances it would not sell their personal information and that companys attempts to sell this data would not only be a direct violation of the terms of its own privacy policies but also a clear violation of Texas law. We will vigorously fight to protect consumers personally identifiable information.
Supporting this effort are Arizona Arkansas Colorado Connecticut the District of Columbia Florida Hawaii Idaho Illinois Indiana Iowa Kentucky Maine Maryland Massachusetts Minnesota Mississippi Montana Nebraska Nevada Ohio Oklahoma Oregon Pennsylvania Rhode Island South Carolina Tennessee Virginia Washington and Wisconsin.
