I've read the new policy. Are they really disabling all server logs? Maybe that's just me but that seems a bit extreme.

GDPR is a bit extreme. This isn't an observation on the goodness of it, simply that it requires extreme measures (relative to the status quo) for compliance.

Always interesting to see GDPR spurring actual changes. On an unrelated note though, is it just me or is the font on that page HUGE? It doesn't seem to resize either, I zoomed out to 30% and it's still giant.

Hi rococode, what are you viewing the site on? I'm curious if you're experiencing this is on something that's a bit out of the ordinary in terms of setup and whatnot. Regardless, I'm curious if we can do something.

You see, the font is indeed larger than other sites out there as NefLabs.com is designed in accordance with DOJ Section §508 best practices for the visually impaired. You can find additional information on this in the full Privacy Policy (https://neflabs.com/privacy/)

But, I don't think it should be as jarring as what you're describing. So, once again, I'm curious...

Firefox: all text is huge.

Chrome: text is reasonably sized.

Contact form: "4096-bit encrypted".

If it's extreme it's because the status quo swung so far away from anything reasonable in terms of what people can expect.

What can be kept for legitimate business interests, security, etc. is quite extensive. Really the key is being transparent about it and making sure that people have the ability to know what is being kept and why.
