Rules for Showing Ads on Wi-Fi Login Pages

A Wi-Fi login page looks like perfect ad space. That's exactly why it's the easiest place to break the rules without noticing.
Almost every Wi-Fi portal carries a terms page copied from somewhere else. Some clauses protect nothing, and one of them actually adds an obligation.
Fibre installation means drilling walls, and the house isn't yours. This is almost always settled by your tenancy agreement, not by legislation.
A stranger calls and already knows your full name and address. The question is no longer whether your data leaked, but where you report it, and that part is rarely explained.
Bills often keep arriving after the service stops. The cause is nearly always the same: a verbal request that was never recorded as a formal one.
The same site can open on one carrier and fail on another. The cause lies in how the block was implemented, not in the site itself.
The signal reaches your house, so it feels like nothing is being taken. The law looks at it from an entirely different angle.
Routers from overseas shops are often cheaper and more advanced. What rarely gets checked: whether it may transmit here at all, and on which channels.
All your visitors' traffic leaves through one address: your subscription's. When someone traces it, that is where it stops.
Signal jammers are sold openly online, but using one breaches spectrum rules. What gets missed more often: it also kills emergency calls.
A recording of someone's face is personal data. Installing cameras is allowed, but three things separate a lawful setup from one that causes trouble.
Collecting a customer's phone number makes you a personal data controller. The obligations are not heavy, but nearly all of them have to be in place before the first record arrives.
