Hi, Can anyone from Hibs.net confirm that you are now GDPR compliant please? Just want to know how you will handle my data:-)

So many mails from companies on this and from what I’ve learnt most not needed. I thought end up losing most of my mailing list.

:agree:

You probably already consented properly (explicitly, in line with GDPR), and they don't need you to consent again. Or they didn't get your consent and they shouldn't really be sending you emails.

The one's I've seen recently are just an FYI that privacy policies have been updated, which I don't think is really necessary.

It'll be interesting to see if I actually get any less emails after the 25th...

Can we not just call it East Germany ?

Doubt it would be great though.

I looked into it for my business and because the gave their emails to me with knowledge it was for my newsletter and i have an unsubscribe prominent on any mail I’m OK 🤗

Couldn't remember ordering that sex robot in the Mita Copiers Hearts top. I put it down to too much gin. It's obviously you chaps messing with ones data.

I have the right to forget this.

Whoever messed with the data also managed to merge two different orders because I would never want a Hearts top.

I'll level with you, most of the details I can access get sent on to the foreign gadgie that's been threatening me and my family.

Think he uses them to phone folk about spurious accident claims and faulty computers and that.

Frankly if you're not giving all our information away to criminals in exchange for free porn I'll be deeply disappointed in you. Failure to do so is tantamount to selling the jerseys of our peg selling tradition for this particular club.

Or to put it another way, if someone is dependent upon the personal data of the desperadoes of .net to secure their financial security I'm only seeing ferrets in their future, not Ferraris.

Is this this ****ing new privacy laws nonsense?? Jesus, it's made working in a multi-national company that relies on sending documents to external partners a massive pain in the arse.

I am only concerned as i usually keep my data in a brown manilla envelope behind the clock on the mantelpiece...... dammit now i have to find a new location!
I could store it beside my happy birthday message frim hibs.net that should be here this weekend.😀

Its down to each individual to reveal or not reveal stuff about their private lives on social media. Even inadvertently you can create assumptions about yourself ... its amazing the number of Yams who have quoted my posts on here on Kickback and for some reason looked at my username and presumed stuff about my private life :greengrin

*You have the right to see what information is held about you. *You can ask what data a company holds and they must provide you with a copy of what is in their database about you.

Can somebody with a better understanding of this act tell me why companies repeatedly say they can't tell me anything due to GDPR?

It could be that’s it’s not your data.

Alternatively they don’t know and use that as a stock answer and quick way to get you off the phone.

If the data relates to yourself (or relates to products/services that they provide public information on anyway) then they should provide you with it. Ask them who you need to submit a DSAR (Data Subject Access Request) to. If you don't get anywhere ask them to get their Data Protection Officer to call you back.
I have a template DSAR I've used in the past I can forward on if you want

In a case of somebody using my name and credit card details is that data mines or theirs?

If it’s in relation the genuine identity of the person or anything they have done such as making phonecalls then it’s their data and you don’t have the right to obtain this.

If it is an account set up fraudulently in your name you should still be able to get information about the account itself.

That was my understanding but they just refuse point blank to divulge any information. I even quoted the relevant parts.
