U.S. Trustee Andrew Vara said in court papers that RadioShack Corp. hasn't specified yet what consumer data could be auctioned off next month as part of the electronics retailer's turnaround, Dow Jones Daily Bankruptcy Review reported today. Lawyers for Vara said in the filing that RadioShack officials haven't revealed what information — potentially home addresses, phone numbers and credit card data — from about 65 million customers could be sold when the Fort Worth, Texas, company auctions off its intellectual property and recognizable trademark on May 11. Vara's lawyers told Judge Brendan Shannon, in the documents filed that the "lack of specificity and clarity surrounding the sale of consumer data" has made it difficult for consumer-privacy ombudsman Elise Frejka to make sure that consumer rights are protected.
