Pokemon Go hat ganze Städte weltweit in seinen Bann gezogen. Aber hat es auch Hackern ermöglicht, auf Ihr Telefon zuzugreifen?

Always with his finger on the pulse, Senator Al Franken today sent an official request to Niantic asking about particulars of the Pokémon Go privacy...

Who Will Own Your Data If the Tech Bubble Bursts?
Corporations, data brokers, and even criminals might buy failed companies just for their users’ personal information.

Desperate companies will resort, if they can, to selling the detailed data they’ve meticulously collected about their users—whether it’s personally identifiable information, data about preferences, habits, and hobbies, or national-security files. That data, formerly walled-off and spoon-fed only to paying advertisers, would be attractive to both licit and criminal buyers. Easily searchable datasets could generate new innovations and  investments—but it would be difficult to know who’s buying up sensitive datasets, and why.

If contracts and privacy policies prevent a floundering company from selling user data, there’s still another way to profit. Most privacy policies that promise not to sell user data include a caveat in case of bankruptcy or sale. In fact, a New York Times analysis of the top 100 websites in the U.S. last year found that 85 of them include clauses in their privacy policies like this one from Facebook:

If the ownership or control of all or part of our Services or their assets changes, we may transfer your information to the new owner.

„Friss, oder stirb“ – nach diesem Motto ist die Datenschutzrichtlinie gestaltet. Entweder Sie lassen es sich gefallen, dass Ihre Daten wichtiger als deren Schutz sind, oder Sie spielen das Spiel nicht. Haben Sie sich bereits angemeldet, haben Sie Pech, denn Ihre Daten werden munter weiterverwendet – irgendwo auf diesem Planeten.

Folgen der Kritiken zum Datenschutz

Während viele mit dem Smartphone vor Augen vor lauter Pokémon den Datenschutz nicht mehr zu sehen scheinen, haben andere bereits aufgeschrien. Der von Niantic als „Versehen“ bezeichnete Rundum-Zugriff aufs Google-Account soll mit der Version 1.02 der Vergangenheit angehören. Nun könnte man womöglich neue Datenschutzstandards erwarten, die Daten auch wirklich schützen. Stattdessen setzt Niantic lieber auf Safe Harbor. Dass der Europäische Gerichtshof eben dieses Programm aufgrund mangelndem Schutz für private Daten voriges Jahr kippte, scheint unwesentlich zu sein.

Ever felt like you were being watched online? You know, like when you read something about New York, and the next site you visit shows you ads for New York hotels? As it turns out, on my computer, there were more than 130 companies tracking my every move (check yours here, then install this plug-in).

These companies are basically engaging in mass surveillance. Just as governments justify tracking us to prevent terrorist attacks, these companies are tracking us online, without our consent, because a marginal 0.7 percent of the population clicks on their ads.

And it’s not just online advertisers. From e-commerce websites to physical retail stores, everyone is now racing to capture more data about us. Don’t be surprised if your insurance company starts charging you more because of how it thinks you should live your life!

Don’t get me wrong, I use Facebook, Google and all those other services. I use them because I find them useful, fun or because I don’t have an alternative. But I do it knowing very well that I am partly giving away my right to privacy.

Anybody who walks or drives past new tracking billboards with a mobile phone in their pocket can be spied on without their knowledge or consent: a potential invasion of privacy that US Senator Charles E. Schumer wants the US Federal Trace Commission (FTC) to investigate.

Schumer, a Democrat from New York, delivered a briefing in Times Square on Sunday, electronic billboards blinking and scrolling behind him.

From his remarks:

A person’s cell phone should not become a James Bond-like personal tracking device for a corporation to gather information about consumers without their consent.

No one wants to be followed or tracked throughout their day, electronically or otherwise.
These new “spying” billboards raise serious questions about privacy, Schumer said. They should be investigated by the feds, and the companies behind them should be required to offer an opt-out option for consumers who feel that they violate their privacy.
