Geolocation can be done without a subprocessor. It goes against the grain of outsourcing everything under the sun but all you need is a high-quality local database of IP address ranges.
And yeah, by all means, include that in your privacy policy.
I don't know details of the GDPR (as the don't apply to me) but a logged IP address belonging to the original requestor seems odd, do you also own the footprints you physically left behind on the ground as you walk around?
- Jon_Lowtek 4y agoYou may not own the physical footprints, but you have a fundamental right to the personal data encoded in them. A corporate service collecting footprints, offering insights and analysis about those who made them, creating maps and profiling their interests based on where they walk, does concern the basic right to data privacy, even if the whole thing is analog, and not out-sourced, and uses no cookies. This is why i compared it to licensing. A musician may not own every physical record, but they have rights to the music they created. Not a perfect metaphor, but good enough to better understand the concept.
