There are easy ways how to opt out from data analytics of your #Mastercard and #Visa credit cards: https://www.mastercard.co.uk/en-gb/about-mastercard/what-we-do/privacy/data-analytics-opt-out.html & https://marketingreportoptout.visa.com/OPTOUT/request.do
Now... yes... call me naive...
BUT it never occurred to ME that credit card providers were harvesting my transactions.
🤦♂️
@Shamar traditional banks usually also do that (often for marketing reasons), but with the ones I use there is no easy opt-out. In the EU you can request that anyway, an email should suffice
At times I wonder if these #privacy related forms are just #anxiolytics.
How can anyone check they are actually using it?
Also... opt-out?
If I remember correctly, as per #GDPR analytics should be opt-in.
@Shamar You can opt out from data analytics (e.g. your payment behaviour, transactions etc) of credit card providers. It should work for all EU because of the #GDPR, not sure about other countries...
