techbeck Posted October 4, 2018 Share Posted October 4, 2018 There’s nothing college students like more than free stuff and a lot of caffeine, right? Shiru Cafe, a Japanese-owned coffee shop on Brown University’s campus, is cashing in on just that. No college ID? No cup of coffee. Students hand over their personal information – name, phone number, email address, concentration in school, as well as professional interests – via an app. In exchange, students open themselves up to receiving information from corporate sponsors who pay the cafe to reach its clientele through advertising on the cups, ordering pages, digital ads in the store, and even baristas. https://www.foxnews.com/us/students-pay-for-coffee-with-personal-data Yea, sorry, my data is worth way more than a cup of coffee. Or even several cups. DConnell 1 Share Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
