#CostOfPrivacy has increased in #Belgium as #LoyaltyCards get creepy. In the past there was a paper form where you could put bogus info, or not fill it at all. #Intermarché has no paper form! You must insert your ID chip card into a machine that demands email address & mobile phone number. If you refuse to link your sensitive identity & contact info to your card, they cancel it.

Sainsbury’s have followed in Tesco’s footsteps and made signing up for a loyalty card mandatory to access any special offers at all, meaning both supermarkets are turning the cost-of-living crisis into a cost-of-privacy crisis.
