Idiots that don’t understand GDPR

[Jobbo]

They were created by the Data Protection Act 1998 and are unchanged by the GDPR; there are some minor variations in the way they must be handled since the introduction of GDPR.

Hence this tactic has been fairly well known and used for aeons. Disgruntled employees have been advised to use an SAR to find out what their employer holds on them as a matter of course; and for an SAR against the FSA see for instance this 2003 case: http://www.bailii.org/ew/cases/EWCA/Civ/2003/1746.html

OK. None of that contradicts anything I’ve said.

The Data Protection Act 1998 has been superseded and is therefore irrelevant.

[NotoriousREV]

Just to explain this staggeringly simple concept to my learned friend:

- Yes, people have had the right to a Subject Access Request for a long time

- Yes, we’ve dealt with SARs pre-GDPR

- The right to a SAR has changed: the definition of Personal Data has been expanded, the response time has been shortened, the maximum fines for non-compliance are higher, and companies are no longer allowed to charge for them.

- The publicity surrounding GDPR has driven a huge surge in general data protection requests and queries into us (which imo is a good thing, generally) from a couple a month to over a hundred since GDPR went live.

- The Data Protection Act 1998 has been superseded by The Data Protection Act 2018, which is the U.K. implementation of GDPR.

What utter nonsense

Don’t be ridiculous, popcorn has been around since 3600BC.

Our local council created a leaflet about GDPR but with very little details about it.

When our local CCN Chair queried it with a friend who had something to do with the legislation it turned out non profit organisations were exempt.

On further investigation it turned out the council hadn't actually registered. It appears to be an utter clustercuddle

I’m pretty sure that GDPR applies to charities and non-profit organisations. I’d recommend getting further guidance on that, if you’re collecting personal data.

I came away from the meeting no more sure than when I went in, the chair is a lawyer and judge and so was his pal and they also seemed entirely unsure as to whether we needed (as Community Councils) to be registered or not! It beggars belief although compared to Brexit........

- Yes, we’ve dealt with SARs pre-GDPR

So you accept they weren't introduced by the GDPR. How many posts did it take to get to this point?

Thank you for running down the same info I posted in bullet point form, too.

Where did I say they were?

People are just using it as a way to be a cunt when the complaint they’ve made to customer services isn’t going their way. Tripped over a “Caution - Wet Floor” cone whilst pissed, and broken your leg? Why not stick in a Subject Access Request when you get told you’re a clumsy twat?

By 'it' did you mean something other than GDPR? You know, the topic of this thread which you started?

People are exercising their current rights under GDPR. Have you banged your head, or something?

Once again: point out exactly where I said these rights were introduced by GDPR.

I know I’m an argumentative twat, but even I don’t argue with someone over something they didn’t say.
