Jason KoeblerScoop: I obtained the contract Samsung requires independent shops to sign to buy phone repair parts from them.
It requires:
- "Daily" dumps of customer data
- The "immediate destruction" of any phones a shop comes across that has third-party parts
Wolf480pl@jasonkoebler that's so fucked up.
But also, how are phone repair shops able to collect such data? Do people not.get weirded out when a repair shop asks them for their home address?
Daniel GibsonNo, most people will just accept it, they're probably used to it by now. And also, what choice do they have when all repair shops have to follow this policy...
@Doomed_Daniel @jasonkoebler I mean, I don't rememver ever having a phone repair shop ask me for such information.
Maybe because all the shops I've been to only only third-party parts. Or don't repair Samsung. I don't know.

dunno, I've never been to a phone repair shop, but generally it's not super unusual to be asked for your address, especially when not just buying something somewhere but getting some kind of service that doesn't happen immediately
