Game of the day - Return of the Obra Dinn - did you enjoy it? by baggins in c/patientgamers@sh.itjust.works

[-] baggins@lemmy.ca 4 points 3 days ago

I didn't, because I felt utterly clueless the whole time and only got the most obvious clues. I felt like the graphical style obscured a lot of the little detailed clues.

I wanted to know if my local Food Basics store is tracking me.

I looked at the privacy policy on foodbasics.ca and not finding any mention of this, but wanting to be sure, I emailed their Privacy Officer.

This is the email I sent:

Hello,

I shop at the food basics store at [Address] in [City],

I would like to know if you use facial recognition or identification technology in the store? And if so, for what purpose, and if the information is stored for how long?

Thank you,
[Me]

Here is the response I got:

Hello,

I confirm that Metro does not use facial recognition technology or any other technology that allows the identification of individual at the Food Basics stores.

Best regards

Life Pro Tip: Register an LLC to buy your steam games under. The LLC will never die and you can transfer ownership of the business entity while it retains control of the steam account.

The timing of this immediately made me think of the article posted the other day about there being no news since it happened a year ago.

Price and quality issues aside- when I do go on Amazon it's because I want to buy from Amazon. Not some random business shipping stuff from the other side of the country. Can't stand how every store has a 'marketplace' of random overpriced AliExpress crap on their sites these days.
