FTC Finalizes Privacy Shield Infraction Settlement With ReadyTech

The FTC 4-0-1 finalized a settlement with a California online training services company over allegations it falsely claimed it was getting certified as EU-U.S. Privacy Shield compliant (see 1807020048). ReadyTech is barred from misrepresenting itself again, and for any future infractions, faces penalties up to $41,484 for each violation. Commissioner Christine Wilson didn’t vote, and the agency didn't comment.
