Painful. Stopped reading after first few paragraphs.

Interesting! A rather cynical approach. Although preferable to naivety on my part - I'd expect a court to hold the list exhaustive if challenged.

No, that is true. There are multiple interpretations here. I gave the most optimistic one!

Why would they single out those specific uses then, if you consider express prohibitions are necessary?

Key word is "may" be completely irrelevant! Of course, if you're providing an Excel of customer data, it will be relevant if the user is in the EU. But still, consent won't be relevant in that context. User content may i

GDPR and indeed any data protection laws may well be completely irrelevant in the context of Microsoft's services. Even if relevant, consent is unlikely to be a relevant as a processing basis under GDPR in the context of usage of MS se

To an extent, think about vested interests here. Mozilla has little to gain by showcasing how clear a rival's new service agreement is! The AI services section seems pretty clear in terms of limiting the use cases of user content: &quo

But a unique identifier doesn't necessarily identify a living person, particularly in isolation. It's just that it's frequently associated with a load of additional information that could eventually be used to identify someon

We do see a few references to cookies in the ePrivacy Directive but absolutely right to drive home the point that it's technology agnostic!

Love the contrast between the title and the text. This isn't even about GDPR, it's about a completely different piece of legislation, the E-Privacy Directive. This is completely agnostic on personal data and so the post is largely

I wouldn't trust any article that purports to be about GDPR that uses the term 'PII' a term which itself isn't anywhere to be seen in the regulation! In reality an IP address is generally not PII, but it may be personal

Yes, of course. I was just explaining why I thought you'd misinterpreted the original poster's comment.

No, they're implying that there's been a failure by pro-leavers to acknowledge that many of these roles have been in the recent past been performed by immigrants from Europe. Now with the UK's departure, employers may struggl

The concept of processing necessary for the performance of a contract is interpreted extremely narrowly by data protection law. Rightly so, because otherwise it would give entities far too much latitude to stuff as many different processing

I would strongly recommend assignment to the company. As you allude to, any investor will want to see core IP in the ownership of the company, and to not have this, even in the presence of a cast-iron license agreement, will be off putting.

For sure - that was my thinking on the alternative scenario. If that happens then that certainly changes the picture somewhat although my other points remain true around what Grammarly would decide to do with that content I would say!

by grabeh 7y ago
I think there's a few points: a) at what point is content uploaded to Grammarly. Is it uploaded automatically as you input (if you have the Chrome extension), or is it uploaded only where a user activates the extension. Clearly if the

Is this being shared with a view to getting more contributors or is it being shared with a view to it actually being used at the moment? If the latter, I would have serious reservations if someone put this in front of me and asked me to sig

I think the point is that Tachyons should be good for 90/95% of the styling you want to apply to the site. I think the creator would be the first to say that if you need something specific which Tachyons can't do you should do tha

Thanks! Although I gotta say that they offer no options in relation to analytics cookies which is technically in breach of the e-Privacy directive as those cookies are not strictly necessary here. There are a few cookie solutions that can b

It may be a good policy, but this is unrelated to the point on cookie consent made in the parent post. In fact the Juro site uses a variety of analytics cookies without even having a cookie banner in place, let alone any granular system for

Heh, apologies for not being more insightful! I was simply rebutting your point over the GDPR applying once you’ve made a few sales to customers in the EU which is not the case on those facts alone. Obviously each case should be dealt with

Yes, that's right. Are you implying that our notional Guatemalan banjo seller is monitoring the behaviour of EU based subjects? I confess I was working on the basis that out the two potential options, Art 3(2)(b) would be inapplicable

Legitimate interests and consent should be the two processing grounds that you rely on as a last resort here. As to your point, legitimate interests requires a balancing act between your interests and others' interests and so is by its

GDPR applicability for those outside the EU still requires at least some active targeting of users (website in EU languages, currencies) in the EU rather than EU users passively coming to your website to purchase. If I make a purchase from

If your reference to 'you' means someone running a site who only has possession of a reduced IP address, then how would connection work? Or are you saying that if I went to an ISP with the reduced IP address, they could disclose d
