Oyster PAYG query

I am well aware of the worries about surveillance that Oyster potentially brings (and that you share) - however thus far there haven't been any properly justified allegations (as opposed to conspiracy theory talk) that travel data is being misused or widely used for surveillance purposes by TPTB. However let's look at some facts... * "The usage history of each card is retained on an eight week rolling basis". * After eight weeks, "anonymised journey information is retained for research purposes". * Only "a limited number of authorised individuals within TfL can Putting on my tin foil hat, is this limited to 10 or 200 people, or 3000 plus the cleaners? access Oyster card data and no external organisations have direct access to the data". They have to phone up and ask for it to be e-mailed over each they want it :-) -- Arthur Figgis Surrey, UK |
