Individuals have the right to see any personal data that an organisation holds about them. If automated processing of such data leads to a legal or significant effect (e.g. you've violated our contract, so we're deleting everything you've bought from us, and you can't use our services ever again.), they also have the right to know what the logic was behind that processing.
Amazon may have the right to terminate accounts and ban users, but when challenged by the user, they do not have the right to respond with "because I said so, so there!"
- anigbrowl 14y agoIndividuals have the right to see any personal data that an organisation holds about them. Depends where the individual is. In the EU this is basically true. Norway, however, is not part of the EU. as for the US, consumers here do not have such rights. It seems you are talking about how you think things should be, rather than how they actually are.
- frobozz 14y agoI wouldn't have posted a comment like that if the story was about someone in Somalia complaining about a US company. Norway is part of the EEA, and has laws equivalent to the European Data Protection Directive. Amazon.co.uk is a company operating in the UK, and is therefore subject to the UK Data Protection Act. IANAL, but at least one of those two facts means that Linn has the rights I outlined above.
