...uh huh.
- hef19898 4y agoIf we can't sell your data we don't want you! Typing this from Iceland, which is, at least last time I checked, not in the EU. Not sure if the GDPR rules apply here...
- gpvos 4y agoYes, the GDPR applies in the entire EEA, so also in Iceland.
- hef19898 4y agoAh, didn't know that! I assumed it was an EU-only thing!
- barry-cotter 4y agoYes, EEA countries follow the large majority of EU laws but have no input into the drafting of them.
- googlryas 4y agoIt's more like "If you don't want us handling your data in a specific way which we do for everyone, we will gladly oblige by not letting you give us your data".
- light_cone 4y ago"Honey, you are so important to me that I decided to dump you." If you tried adapt the corporate wording in your everyday life, you'd be judged by everyone as one of the biggest a-hole there is, and rightly so. I wonder the proportion of people like me who are aggravated by this bs...
- adhesive_wombat 4y agoMealy-mouthed corporate platitudes really irk me too. I just assume everything any company says is a flat out lie, except when forced by law and even then they're trying to wiggle out of the full truth.
- light_cone 4y agoYes, I think it's a fair assumption unfortunately.
