Covered California, the state's health insurance marketplace, has come under scrutiny after it was revealed that the website transmitted sensitive consumer data to LinkedIn. Visitors filling out health forms had details about their health conditions and personal circumstances, such as being blind or pregnant, sent to LinkedIn through trackers. In response to the findings from The Markup, Covered California removed these trackers and has initiated a review of its data security and privacy protocols. The organization aims to prevent improper sharing of sensitive information amid growing concerns about consumer data protection.
Covered California's website inadvertently transmitted sensitive consumer data to LinkedIn, revealing personal health details during the health insurance shopping process before trackers were removed due to security concerns.
In the wake of revealing sensitive data practices to LinkedIn, Covered California committed to reviewing its privacy protocols to enhance consumer data protection.
