Description
Mobilewalla is a data broker and consumer intelligence platform that aggregates and analyzes large amounts of consumer data. It was founded in Singapore and later moved its headquarters to Atlanta, Georgia, U.S. Mobilewalla collected over 500 million unique consumer advertising identifiers paired with precise location data, often without consumer knowledge or consent. This data revealed sensitive information, such as visits to healthcare facilities, religious institutions, and political events. Mobilewalla also tracked residents of domestic abuse shelters and purposefully tracked protesters in 2020. In addition, Mobilewalla admitted that it supplied data used by the U.S Department of Homeland Security, the U.S Internal Revenue Service (IRS), and the U.S. military for warrantless device tracking domestically and internationally. The Federal Trade Commission (FTC) stated that Mobilewalla failed to anonymize this data. In response to these practices, the FTC finalized an order in 2025 banning Mobilewalla from selling sensitive location data and collecting consumer data.
