News Corp. (WSJ, NY Post, HarperCollins)

Nothing recent confirmed this pass on consumer data, but News Corp has appeared in this tracker already as a PLAINTIFF - Dow Jones and NY Post sued Perplexity seeking damages that, for willful copyright infringement, can reach the statutory maximum of $150,000 per work, documented in the LLM Providers tab. News Corp did disclose (Feb. 2022) persistent cyberattack activity, discovered in January 2022, with which its preliminary analysis said 'foreign government involvement may be associated' and in which data was taken; the company told staff the intruders accessed emails and documents of a limited number of employees, including journalists, and its outside investigator Mandiant assessed the actors had a China nexus (VOA, Feb. 4, 2022), which is a press-freedom finding rather than a consumer-privacy one and should be kept in that category. Subscriber reading data across WSJ and the Post is a political and financial profile.

Legal notice. PUBLIC COMPANY (NWSA). Service route: c/o General Counsel / Corporate Secretary, New York, New York — the corporate address on the SEC Form 10-K cover page is the official address of record. Confirm the exact street address on the current 10-K at sec.gov/edgar, and check the state-of-incorporation registered agent (usually Delaware; most large filers use The Corporation Trust Company or Corporation Service Company) via the Secretary of State business-entity search. A registered agent MUST accept service, which is why it is the reliable channel when a company publishes no privacy address.
