loyalty cards news and press highlights
There is lots of press about loyalty cards and the privacy implications.
I've selected a few articles that I think are represenatative and particularly
useful before. Feel free to suggest others.
- An article where British Home Secretary David Blunkett explains why loyalty
cards are a bigger threat to privacy than the government's ID card scheme. (link)
- A description of a loyalty card with a hidden RFID trackable radio
ID! (link)
- An article in the Guardian that describes some of the privacy
implications of loyalty cards. (link)
- An article on Slashdot about a scary case of abuse of loyalty
cards -- a man was unjustly arrested based largely in part on research
into his purchases trackable through his Safeway Club card. (link)
