Are you aware that financial companies, from credit card issuers to banks and payment processors, are capitalizing on the vast amounts of data they have on their customers? These companies, such as PayPal, Chase US, and Revolut, are now partnering with advertisers to create “transaction-enabled” marketing campaigns. While this may boost their revenue, it raises concerns about privacy among customers, who are becoming increasingly conscious of how their personal information is being used.
In the UK, customers of financial services have the right to inquire about how their data is being used and stored, thanks to the Data Protection Act. They can even request copies of this information from companies. But how do you feel about financial institutions profiting off your sensitive information? Have you ever taken the step to request access to your data from your bank or other financial entity? Have you faced any challenges regarding the use of your data or had disputes with a company over it?
