If I do scan your tags, I will only store a hash for deduplication and a count of product IDs (stripped of their unique serial number). The list of hashes will be deleted before I leave camp. #cccamp23 #datenschutzerklärung

Initial impressions are that this setup doesn't quite have enough range and isn't as easy to get close to tents as the hand scanner. But there may be a bug.

(or everyone has wised up and cut the tags out of their Decathlon products...)

Not getting many hits unfortunately, but I'm sure there are thousands of tags here.

So, obligatory PSA: everything you buy from Decathlon has a UHF RFID tag with a unique ID. These tags can be read at a 10m range. Cut them out if you value your privacy.

(If you buy Decathlon shoes, microwave them.)

@russss Also clothes from H&M. Picked up some jeans a couple of weeks ago and they were all RFID-tagged.

@javicuna yeah (also Uniqlo) but these tend to be on the removable cardboard sales tag, not sewn in like Decathlon.

@russss @javicuna do any of the stores use it for theft detection? Or just for tills?

(Presumably readers at the doors could detect whether that item had recently been sold or not?)

@frankieroberto @javicuna yes, Decathlon uses them for anti-theft. Apparently if you take an unpaid item out of the store, the staff have a tablet which tells them which item it is.

@russss @frankieroberto @javicuna why on earth did they thing this required unique ids vs type/style/size ?
