Senators Call for Limits on Affiliate Sharing
Senators Boxer (D-CA) and Feinstein (D-CA) have called upon the Senate Banking Committee to place limits on affiliate sharing in legislation that will amend the Fair Credit Reporting Act. Specifically, the Senators requested that the bill contain "privacy language consistent with the spirit of California�s new privacy law, SB 1." The Senators explain in the letter that affiliate sharing can lead to unwanted marketing, profiling, the creation of internal credit reports that are not regulated by federal law, and even homeland security risks.
