CalMatters reports that the California health insurance website, Covered California, was sharing sensitive user data with LinkedIn through tracking technologies. This data included personal health conditions and demographics such as pregnancy status and potential domestic abuse incidents. Following revelations about these privacy concerns, Covered California halted data sharing and removed trackers from its website. The agency's spokesperson acknowledged the situation and emphasized that a review of security and privacy protocols would be undertaken to prevent similar issues in the future.
Covered California's website inadvertently sent sensitive health information to LinkedIn, prompting immediate action to enhance data security and privacy protocols.
After being alerted to the issue, Covered California ceased sending data to LinkedIn and is reviewing its information security practices to protect consumer data.
