FTC fines telehealth company $7M for privacy notice violation

A proposed order by the U.S. Federal Trade Commission charges a mental telehealth firm with violating its privacy notice to consumers and misleading them about their cancellation policies, pending approval by a federal judge. The FTC levied a USD7 million fine against Cerebral and its CEO, Kyle Robertson, for seeking customers' personally identifiable information. The company then sold that data to third parties, according to the FTC.
