On the other hand I don't see the relevance to storing this attribute and quite how it would be used unless IAG are planning Pride Flights?
The data came from Experian/Acxiom. They compile all sorts of modelled data based on purchasing habits and browsing history etc,
I've gotten so used to seeing my modeled data in a lot of SARs (Royal Mail is one of the worst!) that I didn't really bother me (unlike the sensitive field!) as it's so common to be out there. It's not a log of me actually being gay but the % chance of me being gay based on modelling and therefore I imagine not subject to the "sensitive data" types under GDPR.
When I get to the right post links/photos here I'll screenshot parts of the PDFs and Spreadsheets and blur out some bits if I get time at work tomorrow.
I also saw the FT article just now! - Nice one! - One of the reasons I'm doing these SARs that'll be accompanied with some blog posts and sessions at a couple of conferences is to raise awareness. I'd hate to think what it's like for people in the US!
Another good example is Tesco linking up purchases made on credit cards that you haven't got a clubcard associated with. The second you use that clubcard just once they'll go back and associate everything against you. Which is why I can look and see I brought too much Red Bull when I was 14!!
I can also look and see how long I watched Holby City for on iPlayer back in 2014. Because the BBC needs that data in 2019, right?
Don't even get me started on what Grindr sent back....
