The US Federal Trade Commission (FTC) has blocked data firm InMarket Media from selling or licensing precise location data, alleging the firm failed to obtain informed consent from app users regarding the use of their data.

InMarket denied the FTC allegations and said it was enhancing protections of sensitive location data.
