Is running a forum a purely personal activity? I'm not so sure. It certainly won't be if you have any third party services running on it.

- pas 8y agoWhy not? You can set up a family forum, to share stories, pictures, etc. That's household-y and personal. Fits the definition from the law pretty well. There's some thinking about what constitutes purely personal activity ( https://ec.europa.eu/justice/article-29/documentation/other-document/files/2013/20130227_statement_dp_annex2_en.pdf https://ec.europa.eu/justice/article-29/documentation/other-... ) usually the test is whether it can potentially reach anyone in the public, is some financial/professional gain for the operator, etc. > I'm not so sure. It certainly won't be if you have any third party services running on it. Those are handled in the text too. Basically the controller / provider / operator of said 3rd party service has to be GDPR compliant, not the user. (So if you fire up a WordPress blog, you probably don't have to worry about it.)
