Los Angeles Times Communications LLC

The Los Angeles Times is a major daily newspaper that provides comprehensive news coverage to a large audience, primarily in Southern California but also nationally and internationally. As a news organization, its primary function is journalism, including investigative reports, and it is not a data broker. While its articles may contain personal information relevant to news stories, this is a function of reporting rather than a service that aggregates and sells personal data. The publication of names or other details in news articles can, however, contribute to an individual's public profile, which could be indexed by search engines and potentially misused by others. To protect their privacy, individuals should be mindful of the information they share publicly and can request that search engines remove links to sensitive personal information, though news organizations are generally not obligated to remove factual reporting.
