Tracking company encourages stores to track customers through WiFi
lundi 13 janvier 2014 à 13:00A tracking company is encouraging stores to track customers through the WiFi chips of mobile phones.
This particular company doesn't know anyone's name, but there are other companies that can relate the phone's MAC address to a name. Put those two data bases together and presto, it says who has gone where.
If the phone talks to the phone network, then the phone company already records where it goes. The two methods of tracking lead to the same intolerable result.
