"his or her personal data"
Analytics is not personal. No one shares their names or social security number. And I strongly agree with people above mentioning The Visitor is the requester. We provide services, they use it, we want to understand what we are doing by checking analytics. Nothing immoral about this.
- danieldk 7y agoYou don’t get to redefine ‘personal data’ ;). The GDPR is clear about that: * ‘personal data’ means any information relating to an identified or identifiable natural person (‘data subject’); an identifiable natural person is one who can be identified, directly or indirectly, in particular by reference to an identifier such as a name, an identification number, location data, an online identifier or to one or more factors specific to the physical, physiological, genetic, mental, economic, cultural or social identity of that natural person;* In the legal opinions that the EU provides with the GDPR, random tokens that are associated with a person are PD. An IP address is also considered personal data: https://ec.europa.eu/info/law/law-topic/data-protection/reform/what-personal-data_en#examples-of-personal-data https://ec.europa.eu/info/law/law-topic/data-protection/refo... Nothing immoral about this. What is ethical is a personal opinion, but collecting personal data (following the definition above) is simply not legal without consent in the EU.
