Data Propria is a company formed in 2018.[1][2][4] It is managed by Cambridge Analytica's former head of product, Matt Oczkowski, and employs at least three other former Cambridge Analytica staffers[11][8] including Cambridge Analytica's former chief data scientist,[8] David Wilkinson.[4][6] It reportedly worked on the 2020 Donald Trump presidential campaign.[8]
Notable clients
[edit]In May 2018, Bruce Rauner, the Governor of Illinois, was reported to be using Data Propria in his re-election campaign.[3]
Circa May–June 2018, Data Propria was reported to be electioneering for Donald Trump's 2020 re-election campaign.[8][2][3][12][13][14][15][10] Company president Matt Oczkowski and parent company part-owner Brad Parscale denied the accuracy of these reports, despite having claimed, in front of reporters, that Data Propria was working on that campaign.[8][6] An anonymous source additionally confirmed Data Propria's involvement with the campaign.[8][6]
In June 2018, Oczkowski and Parscale confirmed that Data Propria had signed a contract with the Republican Party's governing body (the RNC), to assist the party in the 2018 midterm US elections.[8]
Data sources
[edit]In June 2018, Data Propria was sent an open letter by U.S. Representatives Michael F. Doyle, Frank Pallone, and Jan Schakowsky.[16][17] The letter asked Data Propria to confirm the provenance of its datasets, and especially whether they contain material improperly acquired from Facebook by Aleksandr Kogan or Cambridge Analytica.[16][17]
