Re: 10 - agreed on this. Several years ago I bought a lottery ticket - the convenience store said they needed my driver’s license to verify my age. I provided to the clerk and he then went to scan it and I said “Stop”. He said it was a new policy the store had so I said no thanks. That policy is no longer in effect at that store. An easy way to get a trove of data about customers.
“An easy way to get a trove of data about customers.”
Absolutely, and as a third party who has no right at all to that information. It is no different than hidden third party data gathering scripts on websites. A third party absolutely has no right to it and we should not be subjected to it at all.
More folks need to draw that line and refuse just like you did.
