General Data Protection Regulation (“GDPR”) ⚖

Everything related to the #GDPR is discussed here. This is the first and only community specifically for GDPR topics which is decentralized and outside of walled-gardens. #EDPB recommendations and guidance can and should also be discussed here.

For the moment, chatter on the similar California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) could be discussed at least until the volume of messages compels us to split it into a separate community.

As I mentioned in another post, many data protection authorities are deadbeats. Knowing that my Art.77 complaints are in vain, my question is how the complaints might be made useful. Suppose we just use the DPA as a prop. We file an Art.77 complaint and CC the data controller a copy of the complaint.

Normally it might be a bad strategy to show the data controller your hand. But when you essentially expect the DPA to be a dead-end anyway, perhaps our best move among shitty options is to use art.77 to get the data controller’s attention on the off chance that the data controller does not know the DPA is a deadbeat.
