What about allowing us to easily delete our personal data when a company no longer requires it?
In fact, I did this a few weeks ago, after a notification of a password breach at one of the many international websites for which I had some sort of account. I emailed/messaged about ten different websites with which I had accounts that I no longer used, and said “please delete me”. In one or two cases they asked me to prove who I was with more information, but in only one case did I receive no final confirmation of deletion - and that was a website that is run by someone in their spare time out of the back shed.
It appears that the GDPR is acquiring global reach on our behalf.
And whats an accredited data recipient… and how does it relate to our own information. And what rule is in place to prevent these 3rd parties from accessing our information any time they want, without our permission?
And why did the system remove my quote of @grahroll’s post? Bit rude.
We cannot see your context, but this might be what you experienced. Discourse does not support an entire post being quoted. If you tried to quote @grahroll’s post above, eg ‘What … mean?’ in its entirety Discourse ignores it. OTOH if you copied and pasted the text it would have stayed.
The proposed CDR offers consumers better access to our own data and is intended to enable moving to an alternate provider simpler. Will this lead to a more competitive environment or simply ensure any alternate offer is only 0.01% better?
Note:
There are Civil Penalty Provisions ref clauses 9.8.
There is a requirement for corrections to be made if there are errors in your Consumer Data.
There is no requirement to remedy or make good any consequential loss if there are errors or losses of data?
Which leaves consumers at the mercy of the civil court system when “almighty stuff ups” outside the control of the consumer come to light.
Cynically?
There is enough evidence being put to a Royal Commissions concerning consumers being taken advantage of. Unfortunately the recommendations of RC’s are rarely acted on as directed. Back to images of that cute little puppet ‘Sooty’ waving his magic wand and whispering secret messages in the handlers ear.
This is an open source website that is meant to teach people how to practice their Right of Access. Personal data requests usually result in a zip file containing multiple JSON and media files. This is an attempt to facilitate extraction and analysis of such zip files for the average user.
An interesting and helpful looking site @brisdaz. Thanks for sharing. I moved it to this topic on CDR as it might be relevant information for everyone interested in their data.
The dataforme looks interesting, but I couldn’t see that it does anything more with Facebook than instruct you how to download your own data. Am I missing something?
Does it do any analysis? If it doesn’t do analysis, why is JSON recommended over HTML, which is readable in a browser.
