Shoppers' personal info not part of RadioShack sale: ombudsman

Her letter came as Oregon and Pennsylvania on Wednesday joined Texas and Tennessee in objecting to RadioShack selling names, email addresses and other personal information gathered from shoppers. Personally identifiable information of 117 million consumers could be made available in RadioShack's proposed sale, Oregon Attorney General Ellen Rosenblum said in a filing that urged stripping out information such as telephone numbers and mailing addresses from assets. Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton last week objected to the sale of personally identifiable information and requested RadioShack's buyer be required to set a separate price for it. Paxton said RadioShack's privacy policy for shoppers included an "unequivocal" provision the information would not be sold.
