If you know anyone in California who might be affected by this company please let them know to file a complaint against Naborly. They apparently have no idea what the laws here are, and they are also most likely in violation of numerous other United States credit reporting laws.

Edit: Their Privacy Policy says nothing about California, and it looks like they're most likely already in violation of California's CCPA.

Edit 2: Can't find them registered anywhere in the US as a credit reporting agency. I guess YC is now funding companies flagrantly violating US law.

Naborly are in Ontario; they are, it sounds, flagrantly violating Canadian law. A former privacy commissioner is quoted as saying that they would investigate Naborly over these allegations.

For examples of flagrantly violating US law amongst YC's prides and joy [0], consider examining DoorDash [1] or Airbnb [2].

If I remember landlords tried this in California 30 years ago and the state just up and made it illegal.

And when no government agency will honor these complaints? What, then?
