The other day, a friend of mine has got a text message from his Smart communications, one of the major telephone communication companies in the Philippines, regarding to his SIM registration. The message sent him a link going to the SMART website.
The SMART Message
What happened when he pressed the link smart sent him on the message, it led him to his Smart privacy setting and was shocked he saw some BIG RED FLAGS…
SURVEILLANCE & POSSIBLE DATA HARVESTING?
“Share your Usage Profile with sister companies”
“TransUnion Credit Scoring”
Does not sound like surveillance at all (Sarcasm intensifies)
The best part is when he discovered this…
“Share your Personal Data with third-parties”
AND THE BEST PART
“Create a Personal Profile about you”
Consent to analyze data about you, such as the websites and apps that you may visit and use and your location information (historical and real-time location), to get a deeper understanding of your personal needs and interests.
Sharing personal data?
Analyze data about you? What could possibly go wrong?
SURVEILLANCE IS EMPOWERMENT
PERSONAL DATA SHARING IS CARING
TECH DYSTOPIA IS HEAVEN!
