On October 26, the FTC gave final approval to a settlement agreement with a
ride-sharing service. The FTC alleged that the company had deceived
consumers about its privacy and data security practices, such as
failing to take reasonable measures to secure consumer data stored
in the cloud, resulting in two data breaches. The FTC's Decision and Order requires the company to
maintain a comprehensive privacy program, obtain privacy
assessments by a third party, report any future data security
incidents to the FTC, and submit a compliance report to the
FTC.
