An auction of RadioShack assets which concluded this week included the names and physical addresses of 65 million customers and email addresses of 13 million customers.   The auction result and transfer of assets is still subject to bankruptcy court approval.

Many states, including Texas and New York, have promised to take legal action to stop the transfer, because it violates the company’s privacy policy.  RadioShack’s March 2015 privacy policy stated  “We will not sell or rent your personally identifiable information to anyone at any time.”

Other companies, such as AT&T have also objected to the sale. http://www.pcworld.com/article/2901028/radioshack-puts-customers-personal-data-up-for-sale-in-bankruptcy-auction.html
