RFID privacy concerns

RFID (Radio Frequency Identification) technology uses tags that emit signals to identify objects or individuals. Privacy concerns arise because these tags can be read without the owner's knowledge, potentially tracking a person's movements or activities. For instance, if a tag is embedded in a product they purchased, someone could read it from a distance, gathering information on their buying habits. This raises issues of consent and unauthorized data access, as individuals may not know when or how their personal information is being collected or used. Ensuring privacy is vital to protect personal data in an increasingly connected world.
