- afiori 7y agoIt will likely apply, still I imagine that they can simply pretend it does not. My intuition is that archiving data for long term historical use is different from datamining a [meta]data to maximize invasion of privacy. Also there is a difference in accessibility, stored inside a glacier very few people are going to actually read it. I believe that if mass complaints from all over the EU emerged it would be a different story. But this does not look like the activities the GDPR was created for
- scrollaway 7y agoIt will absolutely not apply. GDPR has provisions both for archival AND for cases where the removal etc requests are deemed unreasonable.
- ocdtrekkie 7y agoThis makes me wonder: How does GDPR apply to books? Essentially what's happening here, is that GitHub is printing off a "paper copy" and putting it in a box somewhere. You can't exactly GDPR request deletion of your information from a printed book, so I'm curious how GDPR applies to such physical archival mediums.

- palunon 7y agoBut Norway is in the EEA, where the GDPR also applies.
