The 1709 Blog and the GDPR

Inspired by our friends at The IPKat and the post that Ebhlin Vardy published this morning, we also wish to let our readers know that tomorrow the EU General Data Protection Regulation EU (2016)/679 (GDPR) comes into force in all EU Member States.

The GDPR applies to ‘personal data’ meaning any information relating to an identifiable person who can be directly or indirectly identified by reference to an identifier. It requires that personal data be processed lawfully, fairly and in a transparent manner, and that personal data be collected for specified and legitimate purposes.

For those who subscribe to the blog, the 1709 Blog collects email addresses which can include personal data.

The 1709 Blog relies on its legitimate interests to process this data so that we can keep you up to date with developments as reported on the blog. The 1709 Blog does not make any other use of this data.

In addition some blog posts or comments may include personal data such as the names of people who wrote blogposts, spoke at events, made comments or similar. These posts are often shared on social media including our Twitter account.

The 1709 Blog respects your personal data and takes care to maintain its confidentiality.  It does not share your data with third parties.

You have the right to unsubscribe from the 1709 Blog at anytime by emailing: 1709-copyright-blog_readers+unsubscribe@googlegroups.com.

If you would like any personal data which is included in blogposts or comments to be removed or have any questions about our data privacy policy, please email 1709copyrightblog@gmail.com.
