I wouldn't classify this as misinformation. Facts: 1) I don't live in UK 2) They threated me at UK resident 3) It's not possible to change the country directly from Google account, you have to go to Play Store (which I don&#x

UPDATE #2: after clicking here and there, I was able to find this https://pay.google.com/gp/w/u/1/home/settings it looks like I had set a UK address once and completely forgot about it (I don't

Done, thanks! I hope it will be enough to fix this.

let’s try to keep the technical mistake separate from the legal bit. I think their email is entirely legit if I was living in UK, but I don’t. Also: honestly, I use Google Maps almost everyday. Even without asking me I think they have plent

Why changing the data controller to Google LLC for UK users only then? (ignore the fact that they misunderstood me for a UK resident)

Couldn’t they provide a way to check/edit our personal details so we can set our home address?

UPDATE: I've updated the article removing the "illegal" words. Since it doesn't seem to be clear if this is legal or not from their side, I think it's right to give it the benefit of the doubt. (give CloudFlare a fe

Note: if anyone thinks I should at least re-phrase the title and the article, I'm more than happy to do that. My concern is: why do they mention UK leaving EU if I'm not UK citizen? And why there is no way to appeal/complain

We all know that mistakes can happen. That is not the issue. The issue here is that there is no way to contact them and ask to fix this. I tried at least 3 or 4 times to contact them on Twitter (they are replying to other people for other i

Even the article says I lived in UK/London, it's not a secret, but remains the fact I'm not a UK citizen :/ If US or EU would be the same, why mentioning brexit?

by andreagrandi 7y ago
My understanding is that they can "process" it outside, but the "Data Controller" should be a European legal entity. After all, they are not saying "we are moving everyone data to US", they say "we are mov

That's a good question. I tried to edit my details to check if there is a country to set but there isn't.

What do you mean by "source" ? I haven't "heard" this story somewhere on Internet. I did receive the email where they say they are going to move my data controller to US.

by andreagrandi 7y ago
So, is it legal? I'm happy to amend the article if this is the case, but my understanding (when I initially read that UK citizens were loosing some rights being moved to US) is that moving to Google LLC I will have less privacy rights.

Thanks, this is useful to know.

Have you read the article? Entirely? If yes, can you please tell me since when ITALY is not part of EU? Thanks

"The German industry was hit by slump in sales in the third and fourth quarters of last year" Oh really? I asked the shipping time for a Polo (2017 model) and I've been told 160-180 days. I'm not surprised if they don&#x

My guess is that they are not even interested in taking new customers onboard. Before knowing all of this I was interested in purchasing their most expensive plan but I had a question, so I contacted them. I got an automatic reply saying th

If you already use Django and want to expose an API, DRF is a natural choice. Flask is more simple to use, if you have to do simple things. If you need models, access to a database and you don't want to pull third party libraries for t

Well... Andrew Godwin ( https://twitter.com/andrewgodwin ) works at Eventbrite. I think he doesn't need any introduction :) For lazy people: he wrote South, Django migrations and he's currently working on Channels
