«...for every repair, an independent repair shop must send #Samsung your name, address, telephone number, your phone’s unique serial number and IMEI, your “customer complaint,” and all the details of your repair. »
@blogdiva Which is probably directly contradicting European data protection laws.
Personal data (and name or IMEI is exactly that) cannot be transferred at all by the mere wish of some Korean entity. European repair shops that follow this contractual obligation are in violation of law.
Even an EULA might not make this legal, because one can clearly repair a device without transmitting such data. And for personal data one has to show that the data transfer is actually necessary.
