This company is contracted by Ebay to verify age which then permits them to demand excessive and extra personal data to determine simply whether one is over 18. This extra data is required via a link they send to the purchaser, so Ebay would deny any legal responsibility for this company's disproportionate collection of personal data. A customer is left uncertain who has what rights to the personal data they have shared with this company in a context where Ebay has already taken the money for the purchase which would then have to be cancelled to show one disagrees with the excessive invasion of privacy. Yet the verify company says it can determine age via patterns of purchase, and surely one's mobile number and credit card and SIC saved to an Ebay account are sufficient to be identified to the seller as a purchaser over 18. Ebay's operatives in Albania are blind to what is being done, and their Irish operative's view is that "loads of companies do it, and you don't have to buy, this is just how it is nowadays". This situation has arisen and is now dangerously out of control in my opinion. Contractors have a responsibility for the reasonableness of what such companies demand in such circumstances. Customers' rights need greater protection, and Ebay should intervene here. Who is responsible when the data is hacked or even sold? In my view this is a murky area, and Ebay and this company are both playing the game of plausible deniability. Frank
