Is this actually GDPR compliant as it is?
- disgruntledphd2 6y agoIf it doesn't ask for consent and stores PII then no, it's not.
- sneak 6y agoIt's a Google Analytics client (using curl), so they punt on the GDPR issue to Google, who has a little "scrub client IP" checkbox in GA, which Homebrew has checked. This is fine, because Google can be trusted to come into possession of your uniquely-identified tracking data, and then immediately delete it, without letting military intelligence log it in the process. They have no reason to share it (other than the legal compulsion that FAA 702 provides) or keep it around, as it would not profit them in any way (other than their multibilliondollar advertising business).
- woodruffw 6y agoHomebrew does not and has never stored any PII. You can read exactly what we store here[1]. [1]: https://docs.brew.sh/Analytics https://docs.brew.sh/Analytics
- sigzero 6y agoHomebrew gathers anonymous aggregate user behaviour analytics using Google Analytics. You will be notified the first time you run brew update or install Homebrew. Analytics are not enabled until after this notice is shown, to ensure that you can opt out without ever sending analytics data. That is from the Homebrew site.
