Is Nielsen Holdings still publicly traded?+
No. Nielsen Holdings was taken private on 2022-10-11 by Elliott Investment Management and Brookfield Business Partners consortium. The company no longer files with the SEC.
Can I still opt out of Nielsen Holdings?+
Yes. Going private does not extinguish your state privacy-law rights. California CCPA, Colorado CPA, Texas TDPSA, Virginia VCDPA, and the 19+ other state comprehensive-privacy laws apply the same way regardless of SEC reporting status.
Why does SEC delisting matter for data-privacy transparency?+
Public companies must disclose material data-practice risks and cybersecurity incidents in filings signed under Sarbanes-Oxley. Private companies have no equivalent federal disclosure obligation, which means consumer-facing transparency generally decreases after going private, even if state privacy-law duties are unchanged.
