My biggest issue with Slack is that on the free plan they store everything forever, but only allow you to access the last 10,000 messages. I'm fine with limits

My biggest issue with Slack is that on the free plan they store everything forever, but only allow you to access the last 10,000 messages.
I'm fine with limits, but the users should be free to delete messages beyond the limit. It's my data that I entered in and they are preenting me from deleting it which is a pretty nasty thing to do.
I suspect this will all change in May when the GDPR comes into play. The policy is clearly not compliant. They will likely either need to allow for deletion, or give users access to the data (even on free accounts).
- rmc 9y agoExisting EU data protection law since the mid 90s gives people the right to get a copy of their personal data, with big players, like Facebook, supporting it for years. I don't know if Slack has any offices or entity in the EU, but you could try making an access request today./
- detuur 9y agoThey take money from EU clients, in Euros, so they are bound by EU law. GDPR will tighten the net around this sort of business models.
