  6. Lawsuit: Allstate used GasBuddy and other apps to quietly track driving behavior

    Texas has sued insurance provider Allstate, alleging that the firm and its data broker subsidiary used data from apps like #GasBuddy, #Routely, and #Life360 to quietly track drivers and adjust or cancel their policies.

    #Allstate and Arity, a “mobility data and analytics” firm founded by Allstate in 2016, collected “trillions of miles worth of location data” from more than 45 million people, then used that data to adjust rates, according to Texas’ lawsuit.

    Texas’ lawsuit claims that Arity incentivized—through “generous bonus incentives”—apps like GasBuddy, a gas price-tracking app, and Life360, which is intended to keep tabs on family members’ location, to “increas[e] the size of their dataset.” The suit also cites Allstate as gathering direct car use data from Toyota, Lexus, Mazda, Chrysler, Dodge, Fiat, Jeep, Maserati, and Ram vehicles.
