The companies shouldn't be storing it, full stop. I really hope they levy enormous fines, so much so companies are afraid to store much data, and punt that to a third party for liability reasons. That third party, in a perfect world, would by nature have to have some of the best of the best, and take this seriously.
My old boss was working in this space a decade ago. Private data brokers you control, that companies would have to ask for info, pending your approval and such. As you might imagine in the era of sell everything you can, the idea never took off.
- TheSpiceIsLife 4y agoHow are you supposed to do business with anyone if you can't keep a record of who you're doing business with?
- silisili 4y agoWell, you keep a record obviously, just not full data. In a broker scenario, the company would access it as and when needed, on a permission basis. The cool thing about such a model is that if and when you move, change phone numbers, employment, etc, you'd only have to update it in one place! The last time I moved, I think I had to change it in about 20 places. Why does every company need to independently save my address?
