Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton sued Allstate Insurance Co. for allegedly conspiring to collect and sell data from mobile devices, without the owners’ consent. However, the insurer denies any wrongdoing.

Allstate and its subsidiary Arity LLC allegedly created a database to track driving behavior, and used the information to justify raising insurance rates, according to the suit filed Monday in Montgomery County, Texas.
