iGuRu.gr: The recent implementation of the GDPR in Europe, all companies operating in Greece will have to comply with the new General Data Protection Regulation.
The General Data Protection Regulation requires new tools and procedures aimed at more effective protection of personal data, and sets as a control and auxiliary body the Personal Data Protection Authority (DPA).
So doing a "mapping" of personal data collected by iGuRu.gr (data mapping) we found that we have:
- Name (not necessary as nicknames are used and we do not cross information)
- Email address from the comments [*], and the newsletter
- Location Information from Google Analytics and Adsense [**]
- and the IP address from the feedback form.
However, because we use Google Analytics, we list the settings we use below.
So since we will now have to ensure continuous and transparent compliance with the GDPR we thought that as little as possible data we keep the best on the site. As a result, our decision came to delete the list of subscribers that the website hasσελίδα, against the regulations set by SEO and marketing (for anyone who understands what that means).
We also removed social plugins that recorded and stored the total clicks (like, share) from social networks.
So from today the data that iGuRu.gr will collect will be:
- Optional name and email for comments, as long as you can make your comment using whatever name and email you want (even a non-existent one).
- IP address from the comments that if you wish can be completely anonymous (see above, or using VPN, TOR, or proxy)
- Location information from Google Analytics and Adsense [**]
