TIL that a payment service called GoKwik saves everyone's name, mobile number, email address, and physical address all linked to the mobile number. Even if someone has never used this service. It autofills these details every time one purchases something from a site that uses the service.

How GoKwik Is Redefining the Checkout Experience in India

Have you ever been on an online store, added something to your cart, and before you even realized it

@rohini could there be a case against this according to Indian data protection laws?
@crmsnbleyd I am not a lawyer, so I cannot say for sure. I am guessing they might have something in their terms of use and privacy policy which enables them to do this either legally or in a grey area.
@rohini Reminded me of how TrueCaller works
@tris Sigh, yes, I delisted myself from TrueCaller years ago and don't use it myself. I have to delist myself from GoKwik now.
@rohini I'm pretty sure there are more out there xD
