So, Lenovo Canada still seems to have an issue with their pricing error that has angered Canadians this week. There’s a petition online calling on Lenovo Canada to honour their pricing. There’s also this interesting statement:
This company unethically collected our personal information, and did not fulfill their order promise. They utilized false advertising in order to get some free PR.
That’s something that I had not considered. What does happen to all that information including credit card info that they collected? Perhaps the Privacy Commissioner of Canada would care to look at this? In any case, it was at just over 6000 signatures as I type this. Now do I expect that Lenovo Canada to act on this? No. But if the Canadian Government in the form of the Privacy Commissioner or the Competition Bureau decided to exert some pressure, then I suspect that their tune will change.
