BHW New Policy

Recently all website has updated there Privacy Policy ... i think it's an essential part to keep the site alive LOL :-)
 
i can't find anything new there,, so as usual
 
are u saying i could sue bhw if my data is stolen or hacked
If you live in EU, and you're datas has been hacked on BHW server, yes. But if you got hacked because someone just found you passwords or because you entered your email in a phishing page or if someone hacked your computer etc.. you can't, as BHW is not responsible.

actually you can live anywhere but you need to be a EU citizen, so if you are born in Germany but living in the US it applies to you, you don't have to access a site from the EU you just need to be a EU citizen
 
Dang Bro I feel Violated just logging in here now lol. Can I at least copy the disclaimer for my own use. I would of course change some details such as

23. JURISDICTION .

You expressly agree that exclusive jurisdiction for any dispute with Black Hat World, or in any way relating to your use of the Site, resides in the courts of England and Wales and you further agree and expressly consent to the exercise of personal jurisdiction in the courts of England and Wales in connection with any such dispute including any claim involving Black Hat World or its owner(s), affiliates, subsidiaries, employees, contractors, officers, directors, telecommunication providers, and content providers. These Terms are governed by the internal substantive laws of England and Wales, without respect to its conflict of laws principles.

I will rewrite this to my own personal triumvirate between my self and my two cats. The precedings will take place in my basement after crumpets.
 
i'd like an option sue people who automatically add you to their mailing list just because you wrote them once! :mad:
 
Why do you think its not important? In my opinion its really quite important!
Perhaps because it is pretty much an entirely paperwork exercise.

How is anything going to change with this? Spammers outside the EU are still going to spam, spammers within the EU will probably just spoof their location if they were not already and hackers are still going to hack.

The law is not really going to change much, some larger companies will get sued if the data breached is significant enough to impact the rights of the people whose data has been stolen.

Remember how the CAN-spam act stopped everyone from receiving unwanted emails? Remember how much better the internet is now with every website having a cookie notice obscuring the view (especially on mobile)?

Nah me neither. I don't see much change either way because of those laws, I don't think this law will be much different.
 
As a beginner, it's very interesting to read about updates that I had to take. After my registration, nothing was requested. I think the update is automatic
 
The amount of GDPR ignorance among users is really high.

Considering a lot of you make a living online and build websites and receive a lot of EU traffic, you guys absolutely need to read up on it.

It's a necessary evil at this point.

And many big companies, UK politicians and lawyers. Nobody is an expert

True.

But then a cursory knowledge can go a long way.

Not being an expert is better than being clueless in such cases.

That's true, all my and my clients sites are as compliant as they can be. Even down to the right to be forgotten forms, not much more I can do now

That's the point. At least your clients have you, who understands compliance and can aid them or guide them wherever necessary.

But there are people in this thread who run their own websites and most likely do everything on their own. \

GDPR is a heavily discussed topic on the forum and yet people are clueless about it. Wonder what they read? SMH.
