This is nothing but a landing page? Personally I'd have targeted handling GDPR access requests as a business domain. These are €20 million timebombs each primed to explode after 30 days. As a CEO I'd want some pretty damn good vis

At the heart of many companies is often a founder who wields the reality distortion field. As a tool for smashing organizational roadblocks, as Steve Jobs did, this can work wonders. Things that seemed only potentially possible can become r

In that scenario, you are the data controller and the GDPR obligations ride on you.

Outsourcing your talent pools - literally the future of your company - would be an extreme step just to ensure GDPR compliance.

Not an alternative - but the only obvious defence is to do the right thing, and delete data as soon as you have completed processing. e.g. delete those interview notes the second you have declined the candidate.

This doesn't consider some factors that dictate how strong any company will experience their firehose of GDPR requests to be: - how incentivised people are to make GDPR subject access requests of the company (how angry, confused, hosti

I think its a poorly understood cultural thing. If you go to a beach e.g. in Phuket, Thailand, you'll find a mountain of rubbish just off the part where the tourists sit. Plastic bags and bottles, old car parts, tin cans, all sorts of

Stick to it. In your latter years you'll never wish you had watched more TV, but you might fondly remember that moment you walked on a beach at sunset instead and had an amazing encounter. Same applies to your phone too though :)

I read somewhere in a list of"ten ways to tell your manager is a jerk" that one of them was "your manager compares himself to Steve Jobs". I try and remember that, though likely not often enough.

AC could fail for many reasons. Leaving a child in a car where they were dependant on AC for their life would be criminally negligent.

Sounds like you'll have some urgent reading to do when/if you receive your first GDPR access request.

We stayed in a kind of cabin/camp ground near Bretton Woods in New Hampshire a while ago. I was talking to the owner about how we was going remodelling the cabins. Turns out he did all the electrical, gas fitting, plumbing, building, e

The grid needs to evolve, and perhaps it will evolve faster with this kind of initiative putting more pressure on it.

Again, IANAL, but according to 17.1.b, the data subject..shall have the right to obtain from the controller the erasure of personal data concerning him or her ... where one of the following grounds applies: (17.1.b) the data subject withdra

I'm not a lawyer but I've read it fairly thoroughly. From the ico, the exceptions to the right to erasure are below (none of them cover your example): The right to erasure does not apply if processing is necessary for one of the f

I don't think you've read the legislation. Your example "my employer will have to delete records of firing me!" is exactly how the GDPR works. There are exceptions -e .g. if the firing is now leading to a court case, but

We're in the HR business and we don't offer a cool off the shelf app like this (we should! I took notes!) I don't know if you would find a good off the shelf product that meshed with Stripe's vision. Some of the discrete

Maybe (assuming you're in a startup) you could think of the corporate world as a sort of paid rehab. Go and hang out there for a year or two. Make some bank. Regain your mojo. You'll know when its time to quite the corporate job a

I look forward to using GDPR to solve nasty technical questions about data retention and sovereignty. Like many saas companies, we probably tend towards keeping data around in case our customer can make use of it at some time in the future.

Not the person you are replying to but I'd say no. As the supplier you should back yourself as to whether its likely that your changes will cause an issue or not. If so, issue a warning, otherwise don't. The reason I say this is n
