In January of 2020, multiple news sources reported that Avast Antivirus, through a subsidiary, was selling the browsing history of Avast product users. Though the company claimed all data was 'de-identified', it was reported that the sold data could be linked back to people's real identities, exposing every click and search they had made.[8][9][10] In response, Avast announced that it would close the subsidiary over the data privacy backlash.[11]
