DATA VISUALISATION

Data sharing infographic

Big tech firms gather data on us in many different ways. That part is well-known by the public. Less known, but at least equally disturbing, is that your bank often has access to these data as well. This is part of a deal between banks and big tech companies where consumer behaviour gets traded for financial info on each of us. They are having a party at our expense indeed.. This infographic makes the point in a light-hearted and fun way.
