An Post & OSI company “GeoDirectory” uses Census data to profile every Irish home
This is unpleasant stuff:
The Irish Council for Civil Liberties (ICCL) reveals that An Post & OSI use Census data to profile every Irish home and sell ‘location intelligence’ to data brokers and insurance companies. ICCL has lodged a complaint with the Data Protection Commission.
In particular, buyers include Experian, one of the world’s biggest data brokers. There’s no way this meets the spirit, if not the word, of the GDPR, there’s no data privacy here.(tags: data-privacy data-protection iccl experian an-post osi census data privacy ireland)
