I recall about 15 years ago or more there had been something in the paper
about the carbons used with the old manual machines and how they could
possibly be used to collect information about cards.
I rather optimistically requested the carbon from my local popular Italian
restaurant. The maitresse d' indicated that my custom would not be welcome
in future if I insisted on it.

Subject: [data-protection] Hotel keeping card details...
This is obviously a breach.
What happens when you ring up to order something and give your card
details over the phone ? Maybe the person the other end scribbles it down
on a piece of paper and later verifies it with the card company. The piece
of paper later finds its way into the waste bin and the municipal tip.
Also recorded phone calls must keep your card details too for a certain
time. I don't agree that electronic data is more vulnerable, just
vulnerable in a different way.
