While this particular news does not require action, it does highlight an important truth. Many companies you trust with your data also work with other companies. When you share information with a business, ask what their privacy policy says about third parties. Understanding how companies protect your information through their entire chain of partners can help you make better decisions about which services to trust with your family's data.
