IANAL, but this is not legal under the GDPR. The GDPR requires op-in. Moreover, you cannot make non-anonymous[1] data collection mandatory to use a product, unless it is necessary for the product to function (in a strict sense).
[1] Anonymous does not seem to include pseudonyms like a random identifier in the GDPR, since pseudonyms could be linked to real identifiers in the future.
- lettergram 7y ago> IANAL, but this is not legal under the GDPR You’re coming to my country. Where my business is located, my servers are located, my business is conducted. I only use USD, and only operate in the U.S. If my company starts operating out of the EU, then maybe I have to worry about GDPR - if I make enough money for it to apply. GDPR means nothing if you’re not under EU jurisdiction. I’m 100% confident the US government isn’t going to relinquish its sovereignty and say the EU can go after US businesses not operating in the EU. But if you’re in the EU, you have to follow EU laws.
