| Huh?
Not sure the carries can play dumb, not knowing the law is not an excuse for not following it. However the regulation and the repercussions for not following it should have been made clear.
It's also possible that there is a disconnect within the companies, i.e. the legal department notified such and such, but no process was set in place, or a rogue division padded up their contributions by selling the data.
Either way, the personal data I provide to companies and the government (i.e. income tax) I no longer consider private for the simple reason that I am no longer in control of safeguarding it. It doesn't make it OK to mishandle it, but it is a fact of life. |
