I thought so, thank you for clarifying. Appreciate it.Well a 1 account policy is something that would be a t+c of the site... nothing to do with your privacy policy really.

What about GDPR and AdSense ads on forum?
If you disagree, that is your prerogative, however unless you have started working for the ICO, I'm going by their word![]()
Great article and a well-written summary. Something to add / question to ask -
The regulation (as of 27 April 2016) clearly states in its opening "on the protection of natural persons with regard to the processing of personal data and on the free movement of such data, and repealing Directive 95/46/EC (General Data Protection Regulation)"... the key piece being "protection of natural persons". Unless you're a forum like a facebook, where people tend to use their real names, this doesn't appear to apply. I have no Europen identity in the name of "DiamondD" and I'm guessing there is no (EU at least) passport in the name of @Slavik ? As the usernames we're using publicly are not EU citizens there appears to be no case to answer in the majority of instances?
An online handle on its own no, but when combined with other data, it can be considered personal data, especially if that person uses the same username on multiple sites.

Through a lot of time educating myself, I have a good handle on GLPR as I run two sites which I've needed to get compliant. Some of the best information I've come across is this guide, and this thread by Chris D.Slavik submitted a new resource:
Under the GDPR I wish to exercise my right to request a copy of all personal data you have recorded about me, and have it deleted. I would like my account closed in addition to this, I note that your website states that accounts cannot be deleted, however this statement is in breach of GDPR and I require you to act upon this request.
Under GDPR I am entitled to ask for you to do this, and cite the following reasons:
* the personal data I gave you is no longer necessary for the purpose which you originally collected or processed it for; as I was banned as a member of your site and you therefore do not need my data
* you are relying on my consent as your lawful basis for holding the data, and I hereby withdraw consent;
* you are relying on legitimate interests as your basis for processing, I objects to the processing of their data, and as I am no longer active on your site and do not wish to be, there is no overriding legitimate interest to continue this processing;
With regards your advertised privacy policy, please be sure to include all of the following data types in your reply, and subsequent deletion:
Internet Protocol (IP) address
Device Fingerprint data
geographical location
browser type and version
operating system
referral source
length of visit, page views, website navigation and any other related browsing activity
In addition, any personal data which you, or your systems have recorded as linked to my former account should be included in this request.
Under GDPR you have one calendar month, beginning from May 29th (as the next working day). If I do not receive my data by this time, I will pursue further action against your website and seek the highest penalties available.
@Slavik, any advice on how to handle this ex-user trolling us?
Thanks
I've not updated to the latest XF yet, what information would I be required to give him?
3) Your request for your posts to be deleted will be respectfully declined for the following reasons
But I don't think they actually requested that did thay?
