U.S. GAO - Information Resellers: Consumer Privacy Framework Needs to
Reflect Changes in Technology and the Marketplace
What GAO Found

No overarching federal privacy law governs the collection and sale of
personal information among private-sector companies, including information
resellers. Instead, laws tailored to specific purposes, situations, or
entities govern the use, sharing, and protection of personal information.
For example, the Fair Credit Reporting Act limits the use and distribution
of personal information collected or used to help determine eligibility for
such things as credit or employment, but does not apply to information used
for marketing. Other laws apply specifically to health care providers,
financial institutions, or to the online collection of information about
children.
