"Today, noyb filed a complaint against the French video game developer and publisher Ubisoft (known for Assassins Creed, Far Cry, Prince of Persia). The company forces its customers to connect to the internet every time they launch a single player game. This is the case even if the game doesn’t have any online features. This allows Ubisoft to collect people’s gaming behaviour. Among other things, the company collects data about when you start a game, for how long you play it and when you close it. Even after the complainant explicitly asked why he is forced to be online, Ubisoft failed to disclose why this is going on. Under Article 6(1) GDPR, there seems to be no valid legal basis to randomly collect such user data."

Dutch Data Protection Authority:

'Act now if you don't want Meta to train its AI with your data

Instagram and Facebook users who do not want parent company Meta to use their posts to train artificial intelligence (AI) should object now. If they do not do so before 27 May, Meta will automatically use their data to train Meta AI.'

@EUCommission as long as these are mere #fines, they'll be written off as (laughable!) business expenses.

You need to ban then from doing business until they comply and jail key staff until compliance is evidenced. Otherwise they'll just pay up and continue.

Also #NSAbook violates #HumanRights incl. #GDPR by collecting, storing and utilizing data of non-users without or even against their explicitly declined consent!

@nextcloud factually it already IS illegal for #EU companies, violating #GDPR... Its just that everyone is so deeply invested in US services (including the EU governing bodies) that they are all looking at each other waiting for someone at National or EU level take the lead and make the first move. Chicken and the egg problem. How to solve it? Take your losses, smash the egg and #unplugtrump

Is there a good open source tool for GDPR/ ISO IEC 27701 data mapping compliance?

Specifically, I am looking for a tool that to describe data elements and data flows in JSON and then visualize it.

Nutze ich seit ≈2014 exklusiv.

Verbreitung: Gering, aber ich habe Familie, Freundeskreis usw. weitgehend dazu überreden können. Der Rest schickt weiter Email

Sicherheit: Alle mir bekannten Servers verwenden zwingend TLS (Transportverschlüsselung), alle modernen Clients verwenden per Default #OMEMO (Ende-zu-Ende-Verschlüsselung).

#Datenschutz: Es gibt gute Servers in der #EU, da gilt #DSGVO/#GDPR. Mir sind keine Servers bekannt, deren Geschäftsmodell problematisch wäre.
