Well, feel free to read GDPR yourself, I did multiple times, as did my colleagues as did our lawyers. If some piece of information cannot be tied to an individual, it’s not a personally identifiable information (PII). Let’s say your name is Matthew. If I have Matthew stored in my database, I don’t have to ask for your permission. If my database has the information that @poVoq@slrpnk.net has a first name “Matthew”, it’s a PII and I have to ask for your consent (or have a valid business reason to require your first name).
From the perspective of a Lemmy instance provider, they’re indeed responsible for their user’s PII. But in any case, I would only receive the IP address of someone, which I couldn’t tie to any other PII and thus it’s not a PII in itself.
If you disagree, all I can say is that you should read GPDR yourself, because I’m quite sure that I’m correct, because we’ve spent quite a lot of money and time on this exact issue a few years ago.
Well, if you mean shields.io, they don’t have access to your IP if you use the .svg
endpoint of uptime.lemmings.world
, they only have IP of the server. If you mean my service, well, I don’t even log the IP address.
This is literally everything that’s in the logs in case of a successful response:
Also, IP address on its own is not GDPR protected, it’s only GDPR protected when it’s identifiable. So even if I had your IP in my logs, I wouldn’t have to let you know, because I have no other personally identifiable information.
Source: I was part of the process of implementing GDPR for an app whose whole purpose is pretty much managing personal data.
Yep, getting it locally should be much cheaper. Good luck!
Edit: Here’s the model: https://www.printables.com/model/587054-lemmy-logo-mouse-keychain
not because of any existing tangible evidence in this circumstance
Oh, we’re defederating exactly because of tangible evidence that Meta steals every information it can about you. I personally stripped Meta almost entirely out of my life, I definitely don’t want them crawling back just because someone else wants to use Threads.
And if you’re here and pretending to care about data privacy at least try to do the bare minimum in understanding how the Fediverse works.
Oh, I do. I’m my own instance admin, I work as a senior architect and grasped the concept of Fediverse quite fast.
Feels like a moot point, especially here on Lemmy (or Fediverse in general), where almost everything you send is automatically sent to hundreds of other servers. But, well, I promise I don’t care about your IP and don’t store it even in system logs. Would it calm you a bit if I included a privacy policy?
