Here in UK I have been receiving about 5-10 emails a day from various companies - most of whom I don't remember - telling me I need to sign up again so they can keep my details and keep spamming me. Fantastic.

What ? It's the opposite, it allow you to access and delete the data, even if you gave consent one time. And your image concern a lot of other old laws, even if you sell it you can get it back later.
I have difficulty in understanding your language and in following your logic. Surely, signing away the rights to your records for over 50 years can not be better for you than not signing them?
The GDPR hysteria demonstrates that: 1. Many people (even "rational hacker-types" ha-ha!) do not take the time to research, analyze or understand the regulations and laws that affect them. 2. Many people, even though they don't understand said regulations, will have an extreme negative reaction to the new regulation especially when they see big scary numbers like numbers like "$20M Euro". This is true even of regulat…
Also the paper ends in "we also may be mis-measuring dynamism."
There's certainly no need to panic. The article doesn't address that apart from mindless hysteria there are some very real issues with GDPR. It doesn't have to of course because as the title suggests it's more about dispelling panic than about giving concrete advice. However, many real-life problems seemingly haven't even been considered by legislative bodies. In GDPR support forums questions like these have been rou…

The reason being that in the past I've picked up some really nice contracts from recruitment agencies phoning or emailing me out of the blue, so I want to remain contactable.
So, yeah. Great. Thanks for the massive proxy unsubscribe request.
For those of you understandably intimidated by the GDPR regulations themselves, here's a good summary in plain English: https://blog.varonis.com/gdpr-requirements-list-in-plain-eng... The UK's ICO also has a good structured summary: https://ico.org.uk/for-organisations/guide-to-the-general-da... In general I agree with the sentiments in this article. I've probably spent a total of three to four days reading around th…
This is no hysteria. Depending on where your company is located the sueing risk is really high. E.g. in countries like Germany there is a whole industry which lives from sueing companies and people and I can imagine that GDPR will open a whole new sueing market there. In other countries like Austria you get first warned and then sued on big GDPR violations which is a much better solution. So it all depends.
As per the article, GDPR does not enable you to sue the company. > What the GDPR allows private individuals to do is to contact their regulators and to complain if you decide to ignore their requests. The individual will not receive a payout from a GDPR violation.

Do you have a citation for that?
Read the actual law (it's in english, so you can). It mentions this fairly unambiguously.
Most people seem to interpret the directive to say that, because the interview notes constitute "any information relating to an identified or identifiable natural person", they are personal data of the person being interviewed?
>Don’t Panic That's thoroughly good advice. Panic reduces efficiency and the capability to react rationally. >Becoming compliant with this law will cause my business to go under >If becoming compliant with the law will cause your business to go under that is more or less the same as saying that your business is built on gross privacy violations. So if that’s your busines model then good riddance to you and your compa…
