Planet-Friendly Business

The company has not reported any environmental compliance violations, fines, or regulatory actions.

While the Carlsbad, CA headquarters sourced 60% of its operational energy from renewables in 2023, this data is specific to a single facility and not representative of company-wide operations, thus it cannot be scored against the 'Share of operational energy consumption sourced from renewables' KPI.

The company also does not provide specific details on science-based targets, lifecycle impact assessments, or climate-positive initiatives.

Safe & Smart Tech

The company experienced a significant data breach in August 2023, affecting over 1.1 million U.S. customers.

During this incident, account passwords and security questions were exposed and found to be unencrypted or unhashed, indicating a severe lapse in encryption and authentication security. This led to a forced password reset for all affected customers. The company collects a broad range of personal and sensitive data, including Social Security Numbers, precise location data, income, veteran status, ethnicity, education, and work history in some circumstances, and uses session replay technology, with vague retention policies. Despite these issues, the company explicitly states compliance with numerous major privacy regulations, including CCPA, CPRA, VCDPA, and GDPR, and provides users with comprehensive data control options such as managing communication preferences, updating information, and supporting Global Privacy Control across multiple jurisdictions.
