GDPR discussion thread

Well he does say his report will be accurate based on ongoing correspondence with the ICO.

If you can sell a technique, it's worth thousands. Simple. There's no limit if you sell something correctly.
As there is no official endorsement of ANY kind, I see this as someone just cashing in.
I may well be wrong, but I'd be wary of someone saying they can do this *ABC* but you have to pay *XYZ* with nothing to substantiate it and no offence, but unless I see something legal after his name or within those docs, then I see someone cashing in.

I doubt you could even get a lawyer to guarantee anything like this, you would need to hire a full time consultant to possibly give you a guarantee.

That's one bold statement to make.

 

[Ozzy47]

If you hire a lawyer to defend you in court, does he give you a guarantee he will get you exonerated?

Does this?

Exactly. I see this as someone cashing in. Nothing more, nothing less.
You can argue the toss all day long, but does this legally stand for a site to say - "Yes I am GDPR compliant after purchasing and paying 150 (whatever currency) ". If so then yes, go for it. If not?
Cashing in on a situation.

If you feel there is cash grabbing, scamming, advantage being taken of in a serious situation, you are more than welcome to not use the service and report the addon to the staff.

I am more than well aware of what our rights are here thank you.

 

[Ozzy47]

Well that is a good thing then, glad to know.

I am sure I don't need you to tell myself or others otherwise, but thank you for your advice and expertise.

 

[Ozzy47]

I have no expertise in this area, I simply point out options that are available. Should someone not want to explore the options I submitted, that is up to them and makes not one but of difference to me.

Granted, so please allow the thread to continue on course. Thank you.

Yes sir, roger wilko, will do, 10-4, over and out.

Last time I checked, this is a discussion thread. Should you not want to discuss options, issues, solutions to the topic at hand, you should probably not participate in such things.

If you, as a participating member, advise and such to others about extra services, then those people are also of the same right to share opinion - of which exactly I did.
Not happy, then maybe you shouldn't have advocated a 3rd party service.

 

[Ozzy47]

Sigh, I am not advising anyone to use any service, I was simply pointing out what options are available to those that may not be aware of them.

Because you feel the guy is scamming,robbing or taking advantage of a situation is totally fine. You can share your opinion all you wish, but you should not tell other people to not share theirs.

There is a service and addon for that, XF1 https://xenforo.com/community/threads/gdpr-for-xenforo-1-paid.145165/ and XF2 https://xenforo.com/community/threads/gdpr-for-xenforo-2-paid.145164/

It means nothing tbh. No disrespect to Slavik of course. But that could be anyone, anything.
Unless there's some sort of guarantee or promise, then I'd not touch it. There has to be some sort of endorsement to justify that. If anyone parts with their hard earned cash on a "take a gamble - opportunist" add-on, then so be it. Without any sort of promise or guarantee of what it will do, I see that as someone cashing in.
Again no offence Slavik but it does look like you're cashing in on something here - as the only offer of guarantee is your word, that - you know.

That is me sharing my opinion, and not telling others not to share theirs. Many thanks...
I have inputted my concerns, you have only tried to sell the opinion that this is the right thing to do or otherwise. So please stop flaming the thread and allow actual business owners, like myself and others, an informed decision as to whether this should be an appropriate step to take as a buisness, to invest in this or not. Unless you have shares going on of course, hence the drive.
Again many thanks for your input.
