Determining whether a business qualifies as a data broker typically requires reviewing how the organization collects and shares personal information.
Key questions include:
-
Does the organization collect personal information about individuals who are not its customers or users?
-
Does the organization sell, license, or provide that information to other companies?
-
Does the organization lack a direct relationship with those individuals?
If these conditions apply, the organization may fall within the scope of Texas data broker requirements and should evaluate whether registration or other compliance obligations apply.
