Did you know that Dublin Airport is recording your phone’s data? – Newstalk
Ugh. Queue tracking using secret MAC address tracking in Dublin Airport:
“I think the fundamental issue is one of consent. Dublin Airport have been tracking individual MAC addresses since 2012 and there doesn’t appear to be anywhere in the airport where they warn passengers that this is this occurring. “If they have to signpost CCTV, then mobile phone tracking should at a very minimum be sign-posted for passengers,” he continues.
And how long are MAC addresses retained for, I wonder?(tags: mac-addresses dublin-airport travel privacy surveillance tracking wifi phones cctv consent)
