Sounds like that runs afoul of GDPR.

True. I'm surprised this doesn't go against GDPR.

i never heard of this, can you link the gdpr article on this?

I'm pretty sure that's illegal under GDPR.

snovv_crash • Aug 9, 2019 • View on HN

That sounds like a GDPR violation.

I feel like this is related to GDPR but in my opinion it doesn't follow the spirit of the law.

That sounds like a clear GDPR violation, but I guess you are not in the EU?

urlwolf • Jun 10, 2023 • View on HN

It goes against GDPR, that's for sure
