- SmellyGeekBoy 8y agoI assume "consent" comes in the form of the huge booklet of small print we receive from the bank that nobody reads.
- krageon 8y agoPerhaps they claim it's "anonymised" (which generally means it's still grouped but assigned a number instead of a name), thereby handily circumventing this requirement. I would be more hesitant to assume that just because the GDPR passed, the big guys are already as compliant as you would expect from it's wording. It's much more likely they're maliciously complying, because this nets much more money.
