Even After Opting Out, Your Data Can Still Be Shared

In today’s digital age, data privacy is a growing concern for individuals and organisations alike. With the rise of data breaches, hacking incidents, and misuse of personal information, many people have become more cautious about sharing their data online. However, even if you take steps to protect your privacy, it is still possible for your data to be shared without your knowledge or consent. Recent research into Consent Management Platforms (CMPs) by Cornell University revealed that data is still collected, processed and shared even when users opt-out, creating doubt in the regulations put in place to protect user’s online privacy. One common misconception is that opting out of data sharing will prevent your information from being shared with third parties. While this may be true in some cases, it’s not a guarantee. Many companies use complex data-sharing agreements with other businesses, which can make it difficult to track who is using your information and for what purpose. Some advertisers are also known to sell user data to third-party data brokers and partners, this is often a violation of GDPR and CCPA as user consent is potentially ignored.

In some cases, these brokers may be legally entitled to use and sell your data, even if you opt-out of data sharing with the initial company.

Our Cyber Security Guarantee

At Timeless IMS, we recognise how difficult and complex it can be to ensure your business is cyber-secure. As the cybersecurity sector is riddled with technologyfocused jargon, it can be difficult to understand what is required to make your business cyber secure and even harder to implement. We offer our clients a comprehensive support model with a multi-layered set of services with the sole aim to proactively protect your business’ assets and data. We aim to grant our clients with peace of mind that their business will never be breached under our services in our new cyber secure guarantee. If a breach does occur, Timeless IMS will cover the cost of any remedial work to get your critical data back.
