Apple and AT&T have filed legal objections to RadioShack‘s planned sale of customer data.
RadioShack sold products from both AT&T and Apple and originally agreed to keep customer data private. RadioShack is going through bankruptcy and hopes to use any potential proceeds of selling customer data to third parties in order to pay off creditors.
“Not only is AT&T committed to protecting the privacy of its customers — it is required to do so by federal and state laws and regulations,” said AT&T.
Several state attorneys general have also filed objections. A judge is expected to rule on the matter May 20. Earlier this year RadioShack sold the bulk of its stores to Sprint, which is in the process of rebranding them.
