Had reason to glance at my entry on he iPad last week, and it incorrectly showed my seat as being an ‘involuntary upgrade’. Which might explain why the CSM wasn’t too fussed that I didn’t have the correct meal available. It might also explain why the wrong TPs and Avios then posted. <sigh>
I also noticed that pretty much 100% of the Club area had BA status of Silver or Gold. There were a couple that had an icon next to their name that was blue & white, not sure if that meant Blue BAEC or something statusy in OneWorld. But I was surprised about the number of status holders.

Doubt it'll make much difference. As far as I can see, GDPR is more about opting-in to share personal information with the company, more efficient reporting and easier account closure. I think the existing regulations should cover BA not sharing existing personal information with others - clearly there are breaches of these regulations already.

There is a lot more to GDPR than that, and given the penalties companies who deal with personal data need to be prepared given the steep penalties. A good example is that companies need to know the physical location of where the server which holds not just the data but also the back up, and who has access.
) but can't imagine BA will find it easy to comply will all sorts of private details being printed everywhere and people having access here and there and everywhere. I would certainly raise a complaint with a regulator if a person handles some of my data in breach of this regulation.

That's what I am thinking, myself being in finance I know how much it's impacting my life (or the lives around me rather ) but can't imagine BA will find it easy to comply will all sorts of private details being printed everywhere and people having access here and there and everywhere. I would certainly raise a complaint with a regulator if a person handles some of my data in breach of this regulation.

Thanks both - a mine of information always available!

In fairness, on a typical shorthaul flight there isn't much time to start gawking at the passenger list on the iPad. The information is there for reference (recognition, prioritisation of meals, connections, passing on messages) not for being nosey or forming judgements.

Penalties for breach of GDPR is 4% of the whole company's global turnover in the first instance and can be raised depending on the severity of the breach if I remember correctly. And of course, let's not forget the bad ongoing PR this has for the company - as I love to remind the consultants from one of the big firms that was in the news recently that we currently are using...
