“That data, noyb alleges, was fed into an automated system that generates "reputation scores" that TeleSign sells to its customers, which includes TikTok, Salesforce, Microsoft and AWS, among others, for verifying the identity of a person behind a phone number and preventing fraud.”
BICS sits in the middle of mobile networks in more than 200 countries and, per noyb, sees call patterns for about half the world’s phone users. It shares that with sister company TeleSign without telling anyone, according to the complaint. People who asked Proximus for their data under Article 15 got a template copy of standard contract clauses. Your carrier sold your call habits as a fraud product and you are the one being scored.
