@pluralistic I think you were on vacation when this fun little story broke: https://honeypot.net/post/little-league-wants-all-your-information/
Short version: Little League wants you to upload your medical and bank records to verify your residency so your kid can sign up. When I asked them to delete our information (thank you CCPA!), they sent me other kids’ PII by accident.
See what all you missed?
@tek @pluralistic The kids in my house are under enormous surveillance with apps their schools use. I recently looked at one they are told to install https://www.remind.com/ which tracks their location and collects just about all data they can and shares it with administrators (teachers, coaches, principals). Save the children!
@tek @pluralistic I got my information from https://www.remind.com/privacy-policy where under the mobile application it leaves plenty of room to allow tracking of location. You may be aware that there are many ways to track location other than the GPS location services option in app. My toot will overflow if I try to explain them all, but two are IP address and WIFI scanning using SSID's using Google's map of all SSID locations. I generally interpret 'may' in privacy policy as 'do', but I am skeptical.
@pluralistic @krock Does it? The “privacy nutrition label” in Apple’s App Store doesn’t mention location. It’s also not clear from that if it tries to track stuff that’s not school related.
Not saying it doesn’t, just that it’s not obvious to me if it does. I’d like to read more about it though.
