Who counts us on the beach? When sensors decide how Mallorca is distributed

Answer

Are Mallorca beach sensors a privacy risk?

Officials say no personal data should be stored, but the mix of camera images, mobile signals, and entry counts still raises privacy questions. The key issue is how long data are kept, how well anonymization works, and who checks that it is handled properly. For many people in Mallorca, those safeguards matter as much as the technology itself.
