One important downside: Data protection. This approach of "store it now in case you might need it later" is in direct violation of the principle of data minimisation in GDPR.
- progre 5y agoGDPR only applies to personal data though? Like you can't store gender info "in case it's usefull later". I really don't see how a timestamp can be used in that way.
- globular-toast 5y agoWell, since gender is mutable now, I suppose you can't store the date the gender changed "just in case". But yeah, unless you're dealing with people, this doesn't apply.
- imperistan 5y agoI think thats only the case when it the data can be used to (help) identify a specific person
- ximm 5y agoNo, not exactly. It is the case when this data is related to a single person. E.g. "has this person subscribed to my newsletter" vs "whan has this person subscribed to my newsletter".
