Re: Plusnet is tracking me

See OP.

If you read this, you will see that the problem relates to the following text residing in Plusnet's web site.

@VileReynard 

I haven't slogged through more than a sample of other ISPs and they all have similar provisions

Re: Plusnet is tracking me

If I wanted to have the types of web site I visit monetised, I could have joined facebook.

Under the GDPR, "Unless a data subject has provided informed consent to data processing for one or more purposes, personal data may not be processed unless there is at least one legal basis to do so."

So all these ISP's you've seen are either mistaken or are in breach of the GDPR.

@VileReynard - Isn't the key word here 'processed' as that does not put any restriction on it's collection. If you have not given permission for this, then any data that has or is being collected cannot be used.

I know, I told them what to write as I was already on getting it changed from the second your thread went up Wink

However, Plusnet's web site still contains the "erroneous information".


It's not a simple job to change the text, get it through legal and get it on the site, I've seen the copy, and it's currently our DPA officer being reviewed.

Glad to see this matter has not been buried in Plusnet's vaults... Cheesy
