In a statement shared with TechCrunch, Kaiser said that it conducted an investigation that found "certain online technologies, previously installed on its websites and mobile applications, may have transmitted personal information to third-party vendors." Kaiser said that the data shared with advertisers includes member names and IP addresses, as well as information that could indicate if members were signed into a Kaiser Permanente account or service and how members "interacted with and navigated through the website and mobile applications, and search terms used in the health encyclopedia."
