Tech firm with suspended contracts had outside data deal

SALT LAKE CITY (AP) — A surveillance technology company that had a $21 million contract with the state of Utah suspended over its founder’s past associations with white supremacists also had a contract with a healthcare company, to track coronavirus patient data. The Salt Lake Tribune reports the contract would have allowed Park City-based tech company Banjo to sell data it collected through government agencies to an outside organization. The agreement was reached last month and later suspended. It called for Intermountain Healthcare to pay $60,000 for equipment that carried a Banjo computer platform that monitored a wide range of government surveillance data.
