Lots of organisations have been writing
to me lately. Not to tell me of their latest offers or inviting me to events,
but to tell me that they’ve updated their privacy policy. It’s the same law
that applies to everyone; but some companies have interpreted it different to
others. Some say that they can’t send me any more e-mails unless I click their
link; yet they still send e-mail after the deadline has expired. In short,
companies must provide more tools to allow what data you want to share with
them; though surely if you didn’t want to share the information you’d either
leave it blank or lie about it anyway. The new rules also let you decide who
sees your information and how you can control it; especially on social media
platforms. Google has even written its own message about cookies that I have to
display every time someone visits to warn them about cookies. I’m thinking of
re-writing this notice…
