PrivacyPrivacy
RFID data linked to personal data– e.g. link with payment of credit card
-> privacy implication RFID used to storepersonal data
– e.g. travel pass -> record of individual travel
RFID tracking without ‘traditional’ identifiers– e.g. RFID coins to operate shopping carts
Working document in 2005 on data protection issues related to RFID technology by European Commission – recalling of basic principles for data protection set out in EU
directives in 1995 and 2002– guidance for RFID technology manufacturers to design privacy
