Florida drivers sued information providers, such as Experion, Choicepoint and Reed Elsvier, for using their drivers license or vehicle registration data in violation of the Driver's Privacy Protection Act, 18 USC 2721. The Act provides that driver information can only be used for certain permissible purposes. The customers buying the drivers license data from the information providers were using the data to send junk mail, an impermissable use. The drivers reached a settlement with the information providers, which may apply nationwide if U.S. District Judge Jose Martinez so decides. The settlement requires the information providers to set up procedural safeguards to insure that their customers are not using the information improperly.
