Recently moved to a new state, registered my vehicle, and now advertisers have my name, address, and vin almost immediately.
How is it, that a government organization (DMV/BMV) that citizens are REQUIRED to interface with and provide honest information to, can make that personal information available to non-government agencies without your consent? I was never offered an ‘opt-out’ or saw some disclaimer that said ‘would be shared with third parties’.
Is this legal? Is this normal? Is it a data breach?
