Is this against GDPR?

• jacquesm 7y ago
  That's a rhetorical question I hope? In case it isn't: yes, that's against the GDPR that requires that when data is collected the purpose of the collection is stated and consent is obtained for the use of the information for that purpose. No consent->violation of the law.

    This is not entirely correct, GDPR does not necessarily require consent, see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/General_Data_Protection_Regulation#II_Principles https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/General_Data_Protection_Regula... However, you are right in saying that this violates the GDPR, because the data was collected for a different purpose, and using it for another reason like advertising is not allowed.

      In this context it does.
