Quote from The Sun: Companies collecting track-and-trace data for pubs and restaurants are harvesting customer information to sell for profit, it has been claimed.
They have clauses in their terms and conditions stating they can use details scanned in by customers for other means.
The small-print warnings mean data can be shared with third parties.
Customers typically scan QR codes to give names, addresses and phone numbers — unaware their data is passed on to marketing companies and insurance brokers.
The privacy policy of one company used by a London restaurant chain says it stores data for 25 years.
Legal experts have warned of a “privacy crisis”.

Glad my phone doesn't "do" QR codes so the local just takes a name and phone number.
I wonder how much other incidental data is being collected and shared around?
