Going to the doctor, should you turn off your phone? Recently got back from my Dr. Appt, annual physical yesterday and regretted having my phone on in my pocket during the visit. It's possible there's something running on it which could capture audio and is on record. Definitely my Google search suggestions is linked up to allow my microphone input. So, how does this work during a Dr. Visit? Does Google use it's location services to detect a location such as a hosipital and exclude it from recording? I hope so, I believe indviduals should have this boundary set by software and protect their personal discussion with their dr. about personal health matters. Even if a person has opted in to such recording, it should be a basic protection, requirement for operating in this space. I hope to answer some of these questions, fill out the details. If you know anything, reach out. digpriv@soundbit.info

Toast prints your Full Name, phone number, and email address on restaurant receipts. I've seen this now on the last two restaurants visited. The problem is this PII is linked to an indivual's personal accounts like baking, utilties, etc.
With Toast, the email and phone number is not editable. Creating a new Toast account with a new phone number was necessary. To get a new phone number, MySudo was used to quickly setup an account with a number for $10/year. An email
was provided as well, so the two of these can be used to create a new Toast account.
