Right, so you're not aware of all the data controllers that have your data to whom you should send a request to delete your data, so currently it's impractical to exercise your rights.
But presumably you're aware when you're shown an ad ... so requiring the application which uses the data to present info about the data provenance and controllers would give data subjects a better opportunity to withdraw consent from those uses. But I suppose you might not know if your data was used against you in the form of not offering you a better loan rate which your neighbor was offered, for example.
- jampekka 2y agoI have no idea who has my data and how it's used. And how they made it work is that every single site has these nags, and if you once make the mistake of "consenting" to any of them (which is inevitable with all the dark patterns), your data gets sold to all corners of the adtech. I use adblock religiously, so luckily buying my data is mostly waste of money to them. There's an obvious existing solution to this: do not track headers. But they didn't want it that way because it wouldn't have left enough loopholes to keep people giving their data against their consent.
