In the EU they already had a complaint, because it violates GDPR, but in any case I would never use a public WiFi without a VPN, and even less in places with these conditions, there is also free WiFi in some Rstaurants (even in most McDonalds), public Libraries and others. Fuck surveillance advertising
I have seen it on Europe… maybe there was some way to circumvent it hidden away, not sure. But you could type a random email and that’s it, like they don’t send anything to confirm the email or anything once you submit you have access to internet.

They seem to explain pretty well how your data will be used, why would this violate GDPR?
I might be wrong but i think it is because they don’t give you the option to opt out and use the wifi.
Should they? I would simply not connect to their Wi-Fi and move on, it’s not like they are obligated to provide you internet.

Better to send a disposable mail, where yo can receive the log data before it expired.
