Credit Card Company's Help German Police.

If you think your Credit Company Company is about privacy, think again. German Police have 322 suspects from the information received from Credit Card Companies, these people are under suspicion of, purchasing access to child porn sites through the internet, with aid from 14 different Credit Card Companies.

German Police have found 322 suspects for Child Porn Offenses

I am glad to see these types of people get caught.

I think UK based ones help, and rightly so, in the same manner.

Reading the news article I got the impression that card holders privacy was respected.

"We're grateful to the credit card firms that provided their assistance and found the 322 cases themselves," he said. "As far as data protection regulations are concerned, everything was done according to the law."

I'm not so much impressed with the "everything was done according to the law." part of the quote, since just because something is law, it doesn't necessarily mean it's privacy based. What impresses me is the "We're grateful to the credit card firms that provided their assistance and found the 322 cases themselves," part of the quote. The (irrelevant) records were never handed over to 3rd party, they stayed within the credit card company's domain. I don't consider a credit card company reviewing account activity a privacy violation. If the credit card companies handed over all their records to a prosecutor for review I would consider that a major privacy violation, but it doesn't seem to be the case here.
