What alternate GDPR reality is this?
- zamalek 9y agoGDPR doesn't automatically cover everything that can be harvested from your machine. It has to be demonstrated that the data can be used to identify you as a natural person (which is different to PII, which is an American legal term). You might be able to identify a natural person with this information, but it's incredibly variable as it only includes running processes (unlike browser plugins used for browser fingerprinting, which may not change for months). Assuming you can figure out how to reliably fingerprint someone with this information, GDPR allows collection of data that is reasonable for providing the service you are offering: a bot and cheater free game is part of the service that Anet offers. If you request this data, then what? MMO characters often become the embodiment of their players or visa-versa. There is also your CC and billing information, which in combination with your character name (often your nic/handle) could be used to identify you on other social media. This is far more threatening than a list of running processes on your machine. Anet may include these hashes in their GDPR compliance, but rest assured - forgetting someone means deleting the lot.
