@garthk @daedalus The other day at Woolworths I mis-scanned something and the staffer logged in, and before they could reverse the transaction they watched an actual video of the item being scanned from inside the bottom glass plate. So that’s a thing.

@pblakez @daedalus @stilgherrian @garthk Which is what GDPR article 15 is for. Those services (potentially) tracking to much and I cannot avoid them get such a request once a year (there are templates for that even). Won't get rid of it entirely, but if enough people doing that might keep the corps at bay a little.

Spread the word :awesome:

PS: And follow up with art 17 to have them delete. Insist on 17.2 for some extra fun (recursive deletion wherever they shared data to) 😈

@IzzyOnDroid The GDPR doesn't help me as an Australian citizen dealing with an Australian company.
The Australian Privacy Principles are about all we have that's useful thus far, but I and others have been collectively working on improving the situation. https://www.oaic.gov.au/privacy/australian-privacy-principles/australian-privacy-principles-guidelines

Australian Privacy Principles guidelines

The Australian Privacy Principles (APP) guidelines outline the mandatory requirements of the APPs, how we'll interpret the APPs, and matters we may consider

@daedalus Thanks for your engagement! I must admit I am not that informed on how it's dealt with outside EU. But I agree we shall use all the powers we have to make this a better world!
