We’ve updated our privacy policy to comply with the EU’s General Data Protection Regulation:
https://moderndevice.com/privacy/
If you haven’t heard about the GDPR, here’s some background:
The General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) (EU) 2016/679 is a regulation in EU law on data protectionand privacy for all individuals within the European Union and the European Economic Area. It also addresses the export of personal data outside the EU and EEA. The GDPR aims primarily to give control to citizens and residents over their personal data and to simplify the regulatory environment for international business by unifying the regulation within the EU.
A processor of personal data must clearly disclose any data collection, declare the lawful basis and purpose for data processing, how long data is being retained, and if it is being shared with any third-parties or outside of the EU. Users have the right to request a portable copy of the data collected by a processor in a common format, and the right to have their data erased under certain circumstances. Public authorities, and businesses whose core activities centre around regular or systematic processing of personal data, are required to employ a data protection officer (DPO), who is responsible for managing compliance with the GDPR. Businesses must report any data breaches within 72 hours if they have an adverse effect on user privacy.
It was adopted on 14 April 2016, and after a two-year transition period, became enforceable on 25 May 2018.
