And most major sites still allowing your PII to go to 100 direct third parties and 4000 indirect parties are GDPR compliant.
Regulation compliant doesn’t mean what most people think it means.
- api 4y agoSpecifically it means that the company found a way to comply with the letter of the regulation, and that's it.
- dragonwriter 4y agoWhat it actually really means is simply that Amazon is willing to sign a Business Associate Agreement with HIPAA covered entities for certain services, so that it is possible for the covered entity to use Amazon services while themselves meeting (one particular aspect of) HIPAA regulatory compliance. At least, that is what it seems to mean given that the support for the claim was a link to Amazon’s description of certain services as HIPAA-eligible, which is Amazon’s term for services they are willing to sign a BAA for.
- __derek__ 4y agoSorry, I didn't follow the connection to the quoted sentence. Can you explain?
- HeyLaughingBoy 4y agoCompliant doesn't mean what people think it means or do you mean people don't know what the regulation says?
