Every single one of my credit/debit cards has an annual privacy notice. Every time I sign up for a card I call the line and opt-out of the sharing that they are required to let me opt-out of. The setting is retained and while the notices get sent every year, I don't have to opt-out again. Where was the notice even sent for this? Was there one? When I initially saw this reporting I figured 'Ah, they are expanding sales for earlier opted-in customers, better remind others to opt out that care about this'
I share your anger.

- joecool1029 6y agoInteresting, I don't have any message like that on any of my lines. What state are you in, CA? I've been popping off on Twitter for a bit and it appears T-Mobile extends CCPA law benefits to all 50 states and DC/PR, they dropped this link to me: https://t-mobile.static.services.wirewheel.io/ https://t-mobile.static.services.wirewheel.io/ My guess is they prioritize notifying customers in states that have stronger privacy laws.
- whakim 6y agoI just tried this and it's pretty nuts. First of all, their implementation of reCaptcha just didn't work at all for me in Firefox, and I had to switch to Chrome to even submit the request. (Captchas on CCPA request forms? Seriously?) Then, in order to verify my identity, I was asked to submit a copy of my driver's license or passport plus a current photo within 24 hours (after 24 hours I'd have to start over). I haven't made a ton of CCPA requests (probably 10 or so) but this one is by far the most onerous (not to mention that it seems like it might simply not be possible if you don't have a driver's license or passport)
