Just WHO see's your data.

[Cuckoo's nest]

Last year FM asked me to share my BCMS my CIS and vet medicine purchases info with them and Kingshay, which I agreed too. Last week when doing some PD work and speaking to my vet he said he was not too comfortable giving the information to Kingshay as they were owned by Vet Partners a corporate group who are trying to buy out most small privately owned vet practices.
My vet said if they gave this info to Kingshay and they share it with Vet Partners it would make it easier for them to value the business.
Am I wrong to think we are protected by GDPR rules ? Or when we sign the consent form, do we sign our life away ?

Can of worms. Had a court case against a parlour manufacturer. Threatened us with had to keep it secret on a non disclosure thing. Same vet Roger Blowey turned up when we had bad feed off a feed firm. Not only entered our data from NMR without a form also sent the old parlour case files as well to the loss adjusture. Loss adjusture pointed it out Roger Blowey con artist trotted away and NMR wiped their hands of it. It does sound the same as Arla thing for arla garden. Don't suppose theyve used a company with a conflict of interest in it though.

Collecting your data is the big thing now. They can mine it and sell the results to third parties...

I was talking about a subject last night to someone sitting beside me, first and on phone today was about exactly what we were talking about. Scary

These activity cow systems are a prime example, of which data/information can be used and sold for research purposes. Some will own the data and some you are in control of the data.

Exactly the same thought went through my mind during a Farm Assurance visit, the info that went on to their computer was staggering.

We are also First Milk. I didn't sign but was beginning to think I should when our vet, also at a PD visit said the same.

Someone else mentioned that your password for BCMS is also the same for your VAT and tax.....

Ive had that before, was chatting to a mate about a Jaguar F pace of all things, that evening I’m browsing and an advert is on the screen on a website for an F pace deal.
I was slightly freaked out!!

I was also talking about woodworm in potato boxes and had an ad about wood preservative a short time later.

I wonder if FM are on dodgy ground with how they're going about this data sharing. I was told I would be docked money if I didn't agree to everything being shared. Which I think the data protection act '18 frowns upon.
I have shared some, not all.

Why do I get loads of porn ads?
Should I delete my browsing history?

No, don't do that, you might lose some golden oldies. Just don't like the wife/kids see it.

Can all be mined and sold.

When I say sold, I don't mean the company will sell your details- that would be illegal. But they could collect a load of data on say 500 milk producers across the South and then mine it. So another company might pay for generic information or statistics garnered from the metadata. For example, what percentage of the data set used metacam between dates X and Y? It's therefore anonymous but not. Big data is worth a lot of money right now. It's what Facebook and Google and even Tesco do. They collect information. Why do you think Tesco Clubcards are a thing? They link your weekly shop to your name and address.

Apparently DairyComp 305 Herd software is owned by Alta and any data entered is theirs, as deleted user 837354 says the massive numbers can be trawled and results sold on, eg. "the 100,000 cows that had mastitis tube X across the world in the last 6 months had a lower cull rate and SCC afterwards than the 100,000 cows that had mastitis tube Y" What would company X pay to know that!!??
