While you do own the hardware, you probably don’t own the data, licenses, and software in the SIM so you might not be entitled to the data it transmits once it hits the carriers network.
- Rygian 2y agoWell,[the data it transmits] it's personal information, so the owner of the car has a very explicit right to it. (Car plates are from an EU country.)
- K0balt 2y agoI don’t know how that would work, since that data is the personal information of whoever is in the car at the time of collection, so I would guess that the applicant to get the info would have to substantiate that they were in the car at the time, regardless of the ownership of the car. Or maybe just ownership of the car is enough? I kind of suspect it might not be though.
- robin_reala 2y agoOther way around. The person processing the data has a duty to make sure that they have a legal basis.
- Rygian 2y agoThe car belongs to the individual named Koen Van Hove (as stated in the blog). He holds GDPR rights to any location data that gets sent out. Before that, if the system allowed for any correlation of location data to who was driving at that point, the exact same rights apply too for each involved driver. Only if the data controller (the entity who made the choice to put a gps tracker on the car) took specific steps to ensure the location data could not be correlated to an individual (and can prove those steps were taken), is the data safe from GDPR.
- lukan 2y agoIt might be your smartphone, but all the data it collects, including recording audio and video is now mine, when I send it to my server. Don't you dare tamper with or even look at it! (When did crazy things like this start becoming a real thing?)
- jeroenhd 2y agoLegally speaking the data was recorded without consent so if the company receiving this data tries to claim ownership, they'll need to delete it anyway. However, because the author lives in a country covered by the GDPR, they have a right to receive, correct, and adjust the personal information collected on them. No need to capture the data transmitted by the system, the company is legally obligated to hand over every bit of personal information they have on the author, including any pseudomised information, in a format that's machine readable. In theory you'd be liable for racking up a bill if you use their SIM card, but I doubt it still works.
