In todays episode I will weave a thread through concerns about the data social media apps collect, the amount of information on an application form and the helpful applicability of GDPR, all to illustrate why the purpose of information is more important than its quantity.

And what does and doesn't it tell us?</p> <p>Read the blog and find all the links at <a href="https://www.robrowlands.co.uk/?p=2374" rel="external noreferrer noopener" target="_blank">https://www.robrowlands.co.uk/<strong>measuring-by-proxy</strong></a><strong>.</strong></p> <p><br></p>
