Transportation Department Initiates Review of Airlines' Handling of Passenger Data
Transportation Department Reviewing Airlines' Privacy Practices
The Transportation Department announced Thursday that it will be reviewing the privacy practices of the top 10 airlines in the United States.
Federal officials said they will be looking into how the airlines collect, handle, and use their passengers' personal information. The department will specifically be looking into whether airlines are protecting customers' private data and whether they are 'unfairly or deceptively' monetizing it or sharing it with third parties.
Airline passengers should have confidence that their personal information is not being shared improperly with third parties or mishandled by employees
