How to spot Data Brokers?

Trust Hub, uses the California Data Brokers Registry to identify data brokers.

Here’s how you can spot a data broker using Trust hub:

1. Open a vendor’s Privacy Passport

The Privacy Passport provides a comprehensive overview of the vendor’s privacy policies and practices. If a vendor operates as a data broker, a red tag will be present under the “Basic information” section. This tag serves as a visual cue to alert users that the vendor may be a data broker.

2. Look for the Red Tag

When you access the Privacy Passport, check the section labeled “Basic information.” If a red tag is present, it’s an indication that the vendor may be operating as a data broker. The red tag serves as a visual indicator to flag any potential privacy concerns associated with the vendor.

3. Learn More about Data Brokers
