Bank Fined $50 Million for Buying Florida Drivers' Data

(29 August 2006)

Fidelity Bank & Trust has been ordered to pay US$50 million for
purchasing 656,000 names and addresses from the Florida Department of
Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles. The bank bought the data to use in
a direct marketing campaign; the purchase violated the Drivers Privacy
Protection Act of 1994, which aims to protect drivers' data from being
distributed "because stalkers and other criminals had used motor vehicle
records to locate victims." In 2004, a US District Court ruled the
plaintiff "had to demonstrate actual damages before obtaining monetary
compensation under the" law, but the 11th Circuit Court of Appeals
overturned the lower court's ruling.
