Recommendation 11
11
Using the internet is an essential part of most people’s day-to-day lives.
Conclusion
Using the internet is an essential part of most people’s day-to-day lives. But use of many websites and services is contingent on consenting to personal data being shared. This puts people’s right to privacy at risk. It is likely that many people are unaware that they have agreed for their data to be shared, especially given the complexity of consent agreements. (Paragraph 49) Sharing data without subject’s knowledge
