With GDPR the scope of what is actual personal information is broadend. This means that an account number is considered personal information. How is any variant of an ID in a block chain different from an account id?
- Boulth 8y agoAccount ID is only personal info if it can be tracked back to a person. Source: https://ec.europa.eu/info/law/law-topic/data-protection/reform/what-personal-data_en https://ec.europa.eu/info/law/law-topic/data-protection/refo...
- he0001 8y agoAs an example; If I have an account on a block chain I still will know what it is and anyone that have been interacting with that account could still identify the account. And GDPR says explicitly that it shouldn’t be possible at all to identify an individual given considering any amount of time and any resources. So I still think an “account” pseudo key in a block chain is still under GDPR. But we’ll probably see those cases in court under various conditions.
