    Hello Benny,

    Well, why do you think it is a joke?

    The GPDR regulations applies to organizations and individuals whom processing personal data, like name, email address, and so on in their own system.

    The only exceptions from the GPDR regulations are personal data processing of national security reasons or crime prevention.

    Am I wrong that GPDR also apply to BBSes?

    Kindly regards,

    Bjarte

    The GPDR regulations applies to organizations and individuals whom processing personal data, like name, email address, and so on in their

    From what I can see if the BBS runs as a club and the only info requested is Nane, Town, Country then personal info is at a minimum.

    Here once registration is completed these three otems are the only one's stored.

    Should point out that the BBS details are shown are the beginning of registration as a welcome msg.

    As for the Mailer (and for that matter the file tossing processes) GPDR does not apply.

    Hi Bjarte.

    The GPDR regulations applies to organizations and individuals whom processing personal data, like name, email address, and so on in their own system.
    The only exceptions from the GPDR regulations are personal data processing of national security reasons or crime prevention.

    Article 2c, the regulation does not apply to the processing of personal data by
    a natural person in the course of a purely personal or household activity. Also, see recital 18, which states that if it has no connection to a professional or commercial activity, it is not in the scope of GDPR, including correspondences, holding of addresses, social networking and online activity undertaken within the context of these activities.

    Am I wrong that GPDR also apply to BBSes?

    If run by a private person or in a private household with no commercial or professional purpose, yes.

    Thank you for the full answer, it louds clear.

    OK. But the end user need to know that this BBS is for personal or commercial interest. If nothing specified, it may be defined as commercial purpose, or defined as personal purpose. Kim provide 2 different licenses for BBBS. One thing one can do with that is inform the end user at prelog, an another thing is telling user the license type of BBBS (personal or commercial).

    The license of the software in use is not relevant. I can use a highly commercial licensed product for my personal household, if I decide to do so. If
    the BBS is run by an organisation/company, GDPR is applicable. Then that company/organisation will have to document the handling of PII. If they deem that the product they use is not capable of satisfying their requirements, then
    they could decide to drop it, or request modifications to it, to be able to comply with their requirements.

    The EU GDPR reguslation is just that, a regulation. A piece of software cannot be "GDPR compliant". It is what PII data you collect, why and how you process it, that is the focus in GDPR.

    As Rune (Hello Rune, it's been a while!) already answered to you, not needed.

    If you want to be on safe side, you can add your privacy policy to menus/prereg
    and menus/newuser.www files.

    I would surmise that this would only need to be done on the HTML side of things, no?
