eTour accused of selling customer info
Direct marketing company eTour violated its privacy policy when it sold some personal information about its 4.5 million customers to Ask Jeeves this week, a privacy watchdog group alleged Friday.

The Washington, D.C.-based Electronic Privacy Information Center ( EPIC) has sent letters to the Federal Trade Commission and several state attorneys general asking that they investigate eTour's sale of assets to Ask Jeeves.
