Track, monitor, profile or harass individuals, build dossiers on people, or make decisions about people’s eligibility for jobs, credit, housing or insurance. Collect sensitive personal data (such as health, religion, political opinions, sexuality or biometrics) or children’s data. Send spam, or collect contact details for unsolicited messages.
