It’s a company you probably didn’t even know existed, but it probably knows more about you than some of your closest friends.
IDI, or Interactive Data Intelligence, has only been in business for one year but already, it’s built a profile on every American adult: their addresses, phone numbers, email addresses, the kind of car they drive, voter registrations, hunting permits and criminal and civil citation history. It could even have your shopping patterns based on photos of license plates taken at private businesses or purchases on money-saving websites, which it owns, according to Bloomberg.
The company, which has about 200 employees and posted roughly $40 million in revenue last quarter, compiles the information into individual profiles, including on younger adults who wouldn’t ordinarily appear in other databases.
We have data on that 21-year-old who’s living at home with mom and dad, CEO Derek Dubner said.
