The article is full of misunderstandings. The following sentence for example is just wrong:
'You can’t collect and store any personal data without having obtained, and being able to document that you obtained, consent from the persons you’re collecting data from.'
Consent is just one option. You can do logging without personal data. You might have a legal obligation do to (full) logging. You might have a legitimate interest. And so one …
It is wrong to summarise the GDPR as 'consent is always necessary'.
- lucideer 9y agoYour comment does clarify the issue by pointing out the alternative, and the article could have mentioned that, but the quoted sentence is completely correct as quoted. It fails to mention the alternative, but there's nothing actually wrong in the statement. I'll give you that the article is not very comprehensive, but the GDPR is large and complex and the author doesn't set out to cover it in every detail. What misunderstandings did you see?
