- Doctor_Fegg 5y agoI'm not so sure either. Sit on any train and you'll see lots of personal wifi hotspots called "Fred Bloggs's iPhone". That certainly is PI.

- onionisafruit 5y agoGoogle doesn't want "Fred Bloggs's iPhone" in their data set anyway. A mobile access point is no use for geolocation.
- KingMachiavelli 5y agoI guess just change your routers broadcast Mac to an iPhone one. Maybe we could use randomized MAC for APs like we have for clients.
- kube-system 5y agoIt might be a fine line to walk with the definition of "other identifiers" here (especially with a BSSID), particularly when RFID tags count as personally identifiable. https://gdpr.eu/recital-30-online-identifiers-for-profiling-and-identification/ https://gdpr.eu/recital-30-online-identifiers-for-profiling-... > Natural persons may be associated with online identifiers provided by their devices, applications, tools and protocols, such as internet protocol addresses, cookie identifiers or other identifiers such as radio frequency identification tags. This may leave traces which, in particular when combined with unique identifiers and other information received by the servers, may be used to create profiles of the natural persons and identify them.
