You save 15% but mcdonalds makes millions off all the data you consent to giving them by downloading the app. I also heard that, buried in the T&C of their mobile app, you basically consent to rescinding your ability to sue them? I'm not trying to pull too much of a gotcha though, I use the app myself.
- dartos 2y agoI don’t think terms and conditions ate powerful enough to prevent you from suing them. That’s what the army of lawyers is for.

- Aeglaecia 2y agoa nicely packaged bundle containing the information of hundreds of millions of customers' travel/spending/lifestyle habits ... would allow a company to sell more shit to those consumers ... so that information is worth money .... especially when collected en masse ...
- autoexec 2y agoThe last I heard McDonalds said they aren't selling some of your data (like your credit card info or your location data) but that doesn't mean they can't sell other data, sell any of that data at some later date, or that the data won't get leaked or stolen and sold by someone else. Hasn't pretty much everyone gotten several data breach notifications by now?
