As someone who has worked with a couple data aggregation startups, I find it surprising I am unaware of the laws that classify it as private info(or even the legal definition of what "private info" is).

With that said, I am certainly not a lawyer and was never directly involved. Which particular laws are you referring to?

Edit: I should mention I am aware of laws preventing the collection of certain types of data. But unaware of laws about possession of that data.

As a European, I wasn't saying that you have laws that classify it as "private info".

I'm saying that you _should_ have (or get) some such laws.

Including laws about the "possession of that data" -- GDPR for example covers both collection and possession, and which cases either brushes against the law.

Ah, my apologies. I misunderstood that and thank you for clarifying. I absolutely agree. I hope we, in the US, come to a point where we treat personal info in a similar way. Best regards from across the pond.
