God, this is why these terms and conditions are so long.
1) Yes - they say they will use your data in this and other ways.
2) The T&C's and the presence or absence of this statement in them is NOT meaningful to any ordinary users - these things have had to get so long they are not useful anymore.
3) The ads and suggestions targeting you are obvious on these sites. There is no secret.
Note - their T&C says the following:
"We receive and store any information you provide in relation to Amazon Services. "
"We use your personal information to display interest-based ads for features, products, and services that might be of interest to you"
This is as clear as can be.
- jdlshore 5y agoIt may be clear, but it’s still in violation of the GDPR, which requires clear, unambiguous, non-coerced consent for each case where consent is required. Non-coerced means you have the option to decline and services can’t be withheld if you do. Terms & Conditions fail this requirement in many ways.
- whoknowswhat11 5y agoThis is the problem with the GDPR - we are ALREADY flooded with the damn cookie walls, now we are going to have to click through another 20 separate screens? It's ridiculous. It's crazy being a generally big govt / left supporter - this is the absolute crap that gives govt / the left a bad name. 95% of people DO NOT CARE about their cookies etc and are annoyed by this endless crap.
- jdlshore 5y ago> Now we are going to have to click through another 20 separate screens? I’ve never seen that. (Maybe I’m not visiting the same types of web sites you are.) You’re obviously ranting, which makes it hard for me to take you seriously. But blaming your imaginary problem on “the left” rather than the websites you imagine will do this to you seems a bit silly even so.
