Re: I am Shocked I Tell You.......
You cannot ask for information that you are not going to need for a specific purpose that is revealed to the customer.
Not only that, but you must need that piece of data, and be able to justify it.
If the service does not require that piece of data and you require it, then there is no valid consent.
So yes, the big slurp is illegal.
