Digital Identity Lab
goes out
for a round of Goose Board
Eight
Cookies ok? Yes? Ok.
Just to know more about you
... are cookies ok?
Sure. Completely fine.
Are cookies ok?
Cookies ok?
Yeah, are cookies ok?
Occasionally.
Occasionally? But in this case?
Doesn't really matter.
What are cookies, really?
I kind of know what they are,
but I can never quite remember.
I have been told loads of times.
They're... they're.
Can you tell me what cookies are?
They're bits of information...
that, it's like, your computer
would kind of hold onto from that site
or something? I can't remember.
I have no idea what it is.
Ok, now we'll really get started
with our Digital Identity Goose Board.
Ok, today we have
a round of Goose Board.
Tinder!
This, Nicole, is your personal...
these are the attributes of your identity.
And the question is...
take this stack of cards,
quickly go through it, and...
show us the information you gave to Tinder
What does Tinder want to know about you?
Your sexual orientation, yeah.
Ok, so you go on Tinder and
you let them know where you live,
what your hair colour is,
your age,
your eye colour,
your gender,
your sexual orientation,
your name (obviously),
a photo of your face,
your height,
and what type of music you listen to?
Yeah.
You put all of that on there?
Netflix.
Netflix! You watch Netflix?
Of course.
Of course?
Yeah. Just give me the whole stack.
What information
would you share with Netflix?
Friends? No.
Children? No.
Sorry, wait.
You might not have children,
but if you did
then you'd make accounts for them, right?
Yeah, ok. A family account.
Take this one, too, then.
Yeah, and what shows I watch.
That seems logical.
Pornos, I don't watch
No pornos?
No, yeah?
I hope not.
No.
Is that everything?
This one, my location, definitely. Right?
Yeah.
And what about sexual orientation?
Do you think they could infer this one?
Yeah, maybe make an educated guess?
What information does the NS have on you?
My address, yeah of course.
My bank account number? Yeah.
My age? Also yes.
My name.
Photos of my face?
Yes, of course.
Absolutely.
Eye colour?
They can see that from the photo.
From the photo.
My height? Ummm...
Where I am right now?
Yeah?
They know where you check out, right?
Yeah, of course.
What are you going to do this weekend?
No, but I don't travel on the weekend.
What does Google know about you?
They know way, way too much about me.
I share my location with Google, yeah.
Google.
What does Google know about you?
Uh, too much, I think.
My address? Yeah, Google has that.
Your social security number?
Yeah, yeah.
You think they have that?
Possibly, yeah, but...
You think they have that? Google?
Well, maybe that's a bit of a stretch.
What do you share with Twitter?
My medical information?
No.
You don't say that on Twitter?
No.
Your opinion on Black Pete?
No.
I have no opinion.
So, Twitter.
Marleen, you go on Twitter
and this is the stack of information
that you've given to them.
Do you think it's normal
to share so much data?
I find it worrying that they share
it with third parties.
Does that happen, you think?
Yeah.
Yeah, I find that very worrying.
You find it worrying?
Yeah, it's really terrible.
Ok.
I don't find it that worrying.
I use it for work.
It's handy that
people can find my business
so I don't think it's that bad.
You don't find it that worrying?
You think, “Oh, they can just
know this about me.”
Even your personal data?
Why is that?
This sort of thing,
I just don't find particularly harmful.
No. Otherwise, you have no work.
No.
Ok. Well, clearly.
On the whole, I kinda go,
which may be completely stupid,
this must be kind of safe.
Otherwise, people just
wouldn't be doing it.
You're very optimistic about it.
Very optimistic about it.
You don't find it worrying
that you've shared all this information?
That it's then online on the internet?
No, I have no problem with it.
No problem with it?
No.
I don't know much about it.
I think if you knew the full extent
then you'd really be more concerned.
Maybe so, but
realistically I don't have any personal
disadvantage from it.
And I don't see how that could happen.
But you also do that.
I just hope no one can connect it to me.
This is quite a stack.
It's a lot about you, huh?
How does it feel that Albert Hejin
knows all this about you?
I mostly think it's normal.
But I think that's because
I've become accustomed to it.
Accustomed to it?
Yeah.
This is a lot about you, huh?
Yeah.
You guys wanna play some Goose Board?
Uh, no. It's alright.
It's a traditional Dutch game.
Thank you!
It's very important to know.
As part of your trip.
