I just met my new neighbor for the first time, and when we exchanged numbers (by me texting her number) my phone (Pixel 8) showed her full name with a tilde in front of it below the phone number. She’s not in my contacts. Where did it get that name from?
The EU privacy thing? What’s that got to do with it?
GDPR is about/against unsolicited sharing of personal information. If OP’s story were in the European Union, that would be a blatant breach of privacy, and the (phone company?) who provided that name would be facing a gargantuan fine.
That is assuming that she’s not sharing the name voluntarily. It’s not a GDPR violation to offer such a service if it’s opt-in.
Ah, no, I’m in the States
It was so nice of you to say that in the post.
