This completely misses the point, and it's telling that it gets votes. The GDPR does not regulate what you personally know, it is about collections of information outside of your brain.
- zerostar07 8y agothat would imply you can e.g. memorize a list of emails and then verbally tell them to another business for a price.
- madez 8y ago> then verbally tell them to another business At this point it leaves your brain and becomes subject to the GDPR.
- strictnein 8y agoThis completely misses the point: it's a joke.
- JumpCrisscross 8y ago> GDPR does not regulate what you personally know, it is about collections of information outside of your brain So if the same butcher took notes about his regulars’ preferences, they would need to be GDPR compliant?
- simion314 8y agoIf I take notes about your movie or software do I break IP laws? Maybe US law is weird.
- threatofrain 8y agoIf a European butcher takes notes on his customers using a paper notebook or Excel, are these different modes of data-management subject to GDPR? That's a pretty relevant question esp. since the article is on a butcher. The entire discussion is on the scope of GDPR. What does US IP law have to do with this?
- simion314 8y agoThe IP law is related, it protects some people or companies IP, publishers have to follow it, have to respond to DMCA, people in other countries can go to jail. But people that want the IP laws think that my private data should not be mine and not be protected, because it should not be or because it is not easy. Responding to DMCA claims, making sure to use the right licenses for software and assets is not easy either so why is one liked or at least respected by startups and companies and other disliked?
- threatofrain 8y agoIf a European butcher takes notes on his customers using a paper notebook or Excel, are these different modes of data-management subject to GDPR? How are you about to answer that with US IP law?
- simion314 8y agoWhat kind of notes? I am not an expert in GDPR law since I don't track people, hopefully someone here would explain exactly what is PI and what is tracking and if will apply in this exact case.

- detaro 8y agoArticle 2: > This Regulation applies to the processing of personal data wholly or partly by automated means and to the processing other than by automated means of personal data which form part of a filing system or are intended to form part of a filing system. Which makes sense, just keeping customer data on paper instead of in digital storage shouldn't mean you don't have to protect it.
- threatofrain 8y agoAh, it says automated. I wonder if that mean manual human input changes things, even manual human input in Excel.
