Accountability file
A public-record case file for tracking data-broker, privacy, consumer-finance, civil enforcement, complaint-data, retail-fraud, recall, breach, communications-enforcement, and healthcare-transparency source lanes. It treats enforcement actions, warning letters, complaint databases, recall records, breach lists, and investor-protection programs as separate public records rather than proof that any named company or person committed misconduct outside the cited record.
0A13 726E B5F8This shows the case file's most significant public-record connections only — see the Role Web and Timeline tabs for the full set. A line means a record connects two points; it is not a finding about conduct.
These are the standards every anchor on this file must clear.
A company, adviser, broker, lender, platform, or data broker appearing in a complaint database, warning letter, or enforcement index is a public-record relationship only.
Every public-record role in this file, grouped by kind. Open a role to read its dossier — its public-record status, what it is, and the exact records that name it. A shared record naming two roles is not a finding about conduct beyond that record.

Import sources create source-run packets, document inventories, and review tokens. They do not publish accusations or graph relationships until the case-file evidence rules are satisfied.

Warning letters and compliance reminders are official records; they do not establish that a specific recipient violated the law without a later enforcement record.civil enforcement recordFTC Kochava sensitive location-data settlementFederal Trade CommissionFTC announced a proposed order resolving litigation over alleged sale and disclosure of sensitive location data.
Use the record as FTC civil-enforcement posture; preserve words like alleged, proposed order, settlement, and consent before summarizing.official recordEntered stipulated order in FTC v. Kochava, Inc.U.S. District Court for the District of Idaho, posted by the Federal Trade CommissionThe signed Stipulated Order for Injunction and Other Relief in FTC v. Kochava, Inc., No. 2:22-cv-00377-BLW (D. Idaho), Document 138, filed June 25, 2026. It is the operative order and supersedes the May 4, 2026 proposed order as the current posture of the matter.
This is the entered order, not the proposal, so the desk must stop labeling the Kochava resolution proposed; it remains a negotiated stipulation in which the defendants neither admit nor deny the complaint's allegations, so its provisions are enforceable obligations rather than judicial findings of fact against anyone. The FTC case page indexes this filing under June 26, 2026 while the document itself is stamped and signed June 25, 2026; cite the document's own date.public record repositoryFTC privacy and security enforcement indexFederal Trade CommissionFTC topic page collecting privacy and data-security enforcement records, including orders, settlements, and current consumer-protection updates.

This is the issuing agency withdrawing confidence in a dataset the desk already cites, so it governs every aggregate built from the CFPB complaint database.

Release requests are lawful public-record asks. They identify source gaps, review gates, and privacy constraints; they are not evidence that a specific person committed wrongdoing.
Deliberate gaps in the public record — open until the underlying records are released or reviewed, not questions we have skipped.

Source leads and automated probes are review inventory. They become verified anchors only after Hugin can attach the public record, legal posture, and no-allegation guardrails.
These are not loose TODOs anymore. Each lane below is computed from the case file's source tiers, then joined to matching sources, timeline events, role nodes, and release-roadmap requests.

Index CFPB action status, respondent, product, filed date, complaint/order documents, and legal posture.
Preserve FCC document type, released date, order/notice/consent posture, proceeding number, and consumer-facing issue area.
Hugin accepts public records, not accusations. A submitted URL lands in a review lane, gets source-validated, and only becomes a case anchor after the evidence rules and privacy gates are satisfied.
Fact-check status is a review posture, not a verdict. Source-scout rows are leads until a reviewer joins them to publishable anchors; claim-ledger rows are timeline-derived and still require source validation plus no-allegation guardrails before promotion.
Paste an official or public-record URL. Hugin classifies the lane first, keeps lead-only material quarantined, and requires source validation before anything reaches the case file.
Queue a public source for review.Sanitized queue view: Hugin shows the public URL, lane, status, and why a source has not been promoted. Submitter identifiers are not shown.
A source is a public URL someone else can inspect. A claim is an interpretation. Hugin queues sources first and keeps claims out until a reviewed public record supports the exact wording.
Official agency pages, court dockets, congressional releases, civil records, state updates, and public repositories with source URLs.
Publisher, date, record family, and why the URL belongs in this file.
Source URLs first. Context is welcome, but claims do not publish from submissions alone.
Private tips, survivor identifiers, sealed or leaked material, graphic details, and private contact data.
Screenshots or social posts without a public source URL.
Misconduct labels for living people unless the exact cited public record supports that exact statement.
