#frontEndend #Commodification #privacy Today I made an appointment with an orthodontist. I filled out heir three-page online history form. Just above the signature line, I read, "Whether or not we treat you, we may use your personal information for research of publicity."
Whoof! I canceled, mentioning that I'm happy to have my data used for health research,. aggregated or no, but I don't give blanket permission upfront; and that I never authorize a business to use my personal data for publicity. (Okay, that leaves out my publishers; TMI.)
I was surprised to get a phone call saying they certainly would not use my personal info in either way. (Perhaps the hpersonal building their form didn't think anyone would want to opt out.) I asked for a written message, they sent one, I restored the appointment, and (Feh) filled out their form once again, referencing the email codicil in the signature box.
