Person who wrote this is a dick. They're assuming motives and they also didn't do any due diligence to realize the registrar isn't under the GDPR or located in the EU.
This irks me. It feels like if someone discloses a security problem in a city's bus/train ticketing system and the first response is to go to the sheriff's department and see if that person can be criminally prosecuted rather than work with the guy or gal who wants to help you fix your broken system.
- 1000units 7y agoMost small firms who take these kinds of cases have a poor command of language and are generally very unsympathetic.
- aeorgnoieang 7y agoThe EU claims that even companies not located in the EU are still subject to the GDPR. I don't think the GDPR is applicable in this case tho. It seems likely to pertain to the EU 'right to be forgotten' law(s).
- wolco 7y agoIf you are not dealing with an EU entity or an entity in a country with an agreement with the EU you have no right to be forgotten.
- henryfjordan 7y agoMaybe you don't care about following EU law because you don't live there, but don't plan on breaking the GDPR and then vacationing in France or Italy ever in your life.
- paulie_a 7y agoBecause you will get a fine you can ignore? Eu law is not and will not be applicable to most of the planet.
- jiveturkey 7y agoYou're reading things into it that aren't there. It's not a personal letter. Also, why do you mention GDPR? There's no GDPR issue here and the German lawyer didn't mention it.
