Recent investigative findings revealed that Covered California's health insurance shopping website sent sensitive consumer information to LinkedIn, including details about users' medical conditions and personal situations. This tracking was attributed to forms filled out by visitors, such as information regarding disabilities or personal health issues. Following the revelations, Covered California disabled the trackers and initiated a review of its data privacy protocols. The spokesperson emphasized a commitment to ensuring consumer data security and the need for additional privacy measures going forward, especially given that tracking had occurred for over a year.
The website coveredca.com was found to be sending sensitive user data to LinkedIn, including health-related information during the insurance application process.
