I just read an interesting article in nytimes:

https://mobile.nytimes.com/2018/03/06/business/economy/user-data-pay.html?smid=fb-nytimes&smtyp=cur&referer=http://m.facebook.com/

basically it states what the world could have been if google, facebook and other massive organizations would pay us for the data they harvest from our use of their services and being sold for advertisers.

new GDPR regulation starting in may obligate all data harvesting companies (mostly in EU countries) to get a consent from their users. this is a real revolution in the data world. until these no publisher paid any attention to the user. now the user most pay his consent in order for the organizations to use it. and also the user can own the information and remove it or sell it.

so after all of these my question is in regard to BTT is if the keep any information about us and if so will they ask for our consent after May?

thoughts?

GDPR concerned every data controller, which processes personal data of EU citizens or on the territory of the EU, so it also related BTT. I think there is numerous personal data, for example IP addresses (IP is considered to be personal data by court decision).
correct.

i really wonder if they comply since you know, this is not the most established organization in the world.
no response form forum people?

I think that if bitcoin is anonymous, than it is not collecting personal data, but if there is any data which allows to identify person then yes GDPR will work.
that's correct in all things related to transactions done. although all is viewable on the block. however the identity is not exposed. this forum does not work same as bitcoin. there is probably data collection in some form the way there is everywhere online.

If you have voluntarily signed up for something and if it was made clear what your data will be used for and you have given your consent, e.g. by clicking on “I agree to the terms and conditions”, then there is no need to ask for consent again.

You have to know that the EU data protection regulation has already been in force for many years. The only new thing is that there are very strict penalties if a company does not comply and that consent has to be given very clearly, while previously an implicit consent could have been enough.

perhaps companies didn't really pay much attention to it until they will be fined. but you have to agree that this is a two way street. you provide the data and you are also the one being sold products too. of course you can just log out of google or facebook. that's why most people just agree to any terms.
i think that now when you see GDPR more on the news or in the media world it can make a strong affect to our power as users. i come from the media world and i can tell that a lot of companies that specializes in retrageting  suffer from this regulation and most of them facing termination these days. some really big ones!


I have a business law background and I fully agree with you. Now that severe fines are on the table companies pay much more attention to data protection and have come to realise what a pain the back it is.

Yes Exactly!

even though its a common practice. we as users should take care of our interests. companies are making billions over trading our data.

we should at least try to get some to ourselves.




I completely agree.

I also think that if you intentionally voluntarily sign up for something and it was clearly stated in the T&Cs what your data will be used for and how it will be used and you AGREED to it, then IMO dont think that they should ask you again for your consent, but that being said i also think that the T&C's should be updated.
European Union data protection regulation isnt new like previously mentioned and is enforced.

It's our personal data, we deserve a slice of the pie

there are a lot of companies keeping our data from fintech to commodities almost everything we do online is monitored.

that's why so many blockchains are so important as the keep us anonymous. 

i think that if we think long ahead as mentioned on the article sharing the data could befit the users as well as the companies using it.

basically it's our data so we should be a part of the profit generated by it.



that's exactly my point - we should be able to profit out of this, after all we are the product.

i was just wondering regardless if the forum also has data saved on us and if they plan to comply with the GDPR regulation. there's also an option that they don't keep any records on the user. we dont provide much information when signing up here.
