>Does GDPR apply to this sort of data?
The GDPR applies to any information about an identified or identifiable natural person.
So, in a word, yes.
However: Data ownership is a red herring. It doesn't matter who owns what data, what matters is if they have the legal authority to process that data.
- C1sc0cat 7y agoWhich telcos do
- tremon 7y agoWhich telcos don't, except for billing purposes. Yes, they have a legal obligation to collect and store that data for law enforcement, but they are still bound by the GDPR for everything else.
- C1sc0cat 7y agoAnd why would not these be valid things for Telco's to store - though these are of course "Mobile" telcos not know for being as robust as proper old school ex PTT ones. I wonder if EE got hit I could see some interesting interviews with BT security happening :-)
- tremon 7y agoSo much for half-sentences. Were you stating that telcos do have the legal authority to process, or were you implying telcos do the processing anyway, regardless of legal authority?
- M2Ys4U 7y ago> Which telcos don't, except for billing purposes. Yes, they have a legal obligation to collect and store that data for law enforcement, but they are still bound by the GDPR for everything else. They're bound by the GDPR no matter what... it's just that having a legal obligation to process data is a legal basis for processing (it'd be silly for it not to be). If you're interested in why they process data, just ask your them. They have to tell you what legal basis they use to process your data.
