- beberlei 8y agoIt doesn't. GDPR applies to personal data, which photos are not (most of the time). As long as you have an active user account on Flickr the contract / terms of use apply with regard to retention of photos, which Flickr can probably change as per their previous ToS that you accepted when signing up.
- notyourwork 8y agoAnd users have the right to request their data at any time and also request it be purged. These two premises add lots of process overhead to an otherwise innocent looking law from the outside.
- ghaff 8y agoI'm not sure why the downvotes. A lot of photos on Flickr have GPS information encoded. (And of course the photos themselves can often be connected to individuals through either their metadata or facial recognition.) Photos can absolutely be personal information.
