Embed Notice

I went to CVS yesterday to pick up a prescription. For years when I’ve done so, there’s a step where you need to sign on the terminal and agree that you’re receiving the listed medications. This time, I noticed a super dark pattern.

In the place where historically they’ve collected this signature, they still ask for your signature—but to agree that CVS can use your *medical data* for marketing.

There’s no way this is informed consent. One of the darkest patterns I’ve seen.
