Abstract
Recent studies claim that RFID transponders containing only an Electronic Product Code (EPC) do not carry person-related data. This paper describes how to use EPCs on RFID transponders to identify individuals and track their consumer habits and locations. In addition, it is shown how these mechanisms can be used to identify social networks. An overview of the relevant legal aspects is given; in particular the article elaborates under what circumstances EPC item level tagging entails the processing of personal data, thus resulting in the applicability of data protection legislation.
