So under GDPR you're not allowed to process data you've already got? I wouldn't call this reasonable legislation.
- marksomnian 8y agoIf the data was obtained in violation, it follows that any processing, while not technically in violation, wouldn't be looked upon favourably. Furthermore, although IANAL, I suspect that certain classes of processing fall under different rules, therefore the processing could potentially be in violation even if the collection wasn't.
- Drakim 8y agoThat seems like some twisted logic. "I was just dumping data in logs, I don't have to care about privacy concerns. Oh, and now I have all this data on my server, since it's already here I surely deserve to process it without caring about privacy concerns!"
- oytis 8y agoI mean if we can derive enough information about the user from the data that is strictly necessary otherwise, then the privacy is already doomed, and all efforts to protect it with some legislation will be inevitably in contradiction just with how technology works.
