IIRC GDPR only applies if you are operating a business or organization.
Depending on how this project is structured, it wouldn’t have to process your GDPR request.
Edit: I was only partially correct. According to Article 2, Point 2C, the regulation (GDPR) does not apply to the processing of personal data “ by a natural person in the course of a purely personal or household activity”
So if this project can be viewed as a personal project (which I suppose it could, in theory…), then it wouldn’t have to comply.
- Flocular 5y agoNo, GDPR applies to everyone. The government is proactively only enforcing GDPR vs organizations, private persons need to sue to get GDPR enforcement against each other. Also - should companies use this list, their usage would of course need to be GDPR compliant.
- MadsRC 5y agoNo, it does not. Article 2 point 2 covers the exact scenarios in which it does not.
- Flocular 5y agoIt indeed doesn't cover data processed by "a natural person in the course of a purely personal or household activity" But arguably, as soon as you upload stuff to github.com you already fall outside of that narrow definition.
- Hamuko 5y agoYou can definitely be fined as an individual for GDPR non-compliance. https://www.enforcementtracker.com/ETid-1022 https://www.enforcementtracker.com/ETid-1022
- MadsRC 5y agoI see how what I wrote can be read as stating that an individual can’t be fined. Please note that that is not what I’ve meant. I’ve updated my comment with a bit more info.
- mijamo 5y agoI am 90% sure that this is wrong.
