OTTAWA - Major corporations in Canada have quietly started using implanted radio chips to track the movement of products and their secretive behaviour and potential for using the technology to invade the private lives of Canadians has raised serious alarm with the federal privacy commissioner.
The technology, called radio frequency identification, or RFID, is poised to radically expand the ability of corporations to spy on customers' shopping habits, track items in homes and allow the government to monitor the movement of immigrants.
