If you're in the EU you're also saving the GDPR fines. And the author probably saved 500 euros a year on a basic plan. But if you're on the top end plan you would save tens of thousands.
- Silhouette 5y agoWhat GDPR fines are those, specifically?
- ratww 5y agoEDIT: I misread the grandparent post.
- that_guy_iain 5y agoNot FUD there has been a court ruling on using mailchimp being a breach of GDPR.
- ratww 5y agoSorry, I completely misread your post. You're right. My point was actually closer to what you're saying.
- that_guy_iain 5y agoMail chimp stores it’s data in the us and German courts found that it breached GDPR because of US spy laws.
- Silhouette 5y agoWasn't that just the latest iteration of "EU pretends no other country in the world has similar national security laws to its own member states", under which multiple EU-US agreements on data sharing have already been struck down and technically any EU business probably can't use any US-based service ever if that involves sharing of personal data? Did this one get to the end of the process and result in a real fine or other penalty?
- that_guy_iain 5y ago> Did this one get to the end of the process and result in a real fine or other penalty? It did end with a judgement that it was in breach but the court didn't fine the company because they barely used Mailchimp and they stopped using it before it got to trial.
- andrewnicolalde 5y agoI don’t think GDPR is applicable to private individuals running a newsletter..
- that_guy_iain 5y agoGDPR as far as I know applies to anyone collecting data within the EU. But seriously the people who would think this is a great ad for mailchimp because the savings are so low are companies.
- dqh 5y agoMy understanding is that it applies globally, regarding data collected on EU citizens. Enforcement is obviously a question here.
