The General Data Protection Regulation is enforceable May 25, 2018. For more information on this, please see here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/General_Data_Protection_Regulation
In short, it's regulations that apply to citizens of the EU on data protection and privacy.
The purpose of this post is to provide notice that we plan to apply policy and codes changes to all users of FFXIAH/FFXIVPro to comply with GDPR.
The top line items that I hope are done soon are Right to Access and Right to Erasure. This will give users the right to access all their data and to permanently delete their data. This includes data such as:
- Forum Posts
- Private Messages
- Social Account Names
- Screenshots / Images
- Itemsets / Playersets
- Node (wiki pages)
- Bazaar / Wanted list (linked to a user)
Game related data won't be considered personal but will be subject to change. Such as:
- char data are hidden by default until verified by user
- char data can be downloadable if verified by user
Other facets of the GDPR are being discussed.
