Just wanted to reserve a table at a restraunt. Their online reservation demanded my full adress as mandatory fields. What the heck? If I just call the place, all I need to give is my name and they probably record my phone number. I now live at Dataminimisation Avenue 42, in 1337 Noneofyourbusiness.

Ah, algorithmic transparency, what I told the European Parliament was the next step they should take after GDPR. Better six years late than never. Hey, maybe in another decade they’ll even consider implementing a General Data Minimisation Regulation (GDMR).

I'm at an #EU  #DataSpaces conference, where I'll be speaking about the #EHDS.

The conference is co-organised by the Spanish #DPA but they seem to spend more time lamenting about #innovation, #datamarkets and #synergies than they do about #privacybydesign, #dataminimisation and #consent.  #GDPR

Argh. Webinar registration forms that have street address as a mandatory field. Stop it already!

Casual overcollection of personal information

At least it's not a mandatory field
