If your side project is collecting personal data ( an IP address alone doesn't qualify ) then ethics alone should compel you to comply with such requests, regardless of GDPR. You have appointed yourself custodian of other people's data, but without any responsibility?
Hopefully GDPR will result in two changes:
1. Design-time consideration of data management
2. Minimisation of the amount of data collected
Both of which would result in better, simpler software.
- notadoc 9y ago>( an IP address alone doesn't qualify ) You are wrong. You need to brush up on GDPR. An IP address, metadata, cookie ID, "online identifiers", etc are considered personal data by GDPR, all data that is collected by virtually every single website, service, or app in the world at some level, either directly through an analytics platform, web font, external library, social engagement, ads, affiliate, input form, third party login services, or even the server itself. That is in addition to names, addresses, phone, email addresses, location, social media, health data, etc.
