HO HO HO! Just to let you all know that my naughty list is now completely full. If you could kindly refrain from doing anything naughty from now until after Christmas, I would appreciate it.

Please.

Please stop…

oh goodness gracious what have i done

@CrypticMirror The elves in legal have informed me that GDPR is not an issue as I have an aggressive “accept all cookies” policy.

I also naturally adhere to the “Right to be forgotten”, as I am an elderly man who usually can’t remember where he put his slippers.

@Santaclaus @CrypticMirror is your list anonymized and tokenized enough though? My kids are writing letter now but I'm hesitant to send and thus provide a consent, without ensuring proper personal data handling practices and controls.

@CrypticMirror @Santaclaus I'm surprised Santa isn't working for the Meta company. 😀👍🎅

@CrypticMirror @Santaclaus I hope that he's observing the Rehabilitation of Offenders Act 1974 too.

@CrypticMirror funny but false : article 4 is the definitions of terms of the regulation

@CrypticMirror @Santaclaus
Art 4 contains the definitions only, not the duties.
By making a request for services (the "santa letter") that triggers the "processing is necessary to satisfy a contract to which the data party is a subject" provisions. It is also arguable that Santa can claim under the "processing is necessary to perform a task in the public interest or carry out some official function" provisions too.

@CrypticMirror @Santaclaus Isn’t Santa database legal under the legitimate interest or the required to fulfill the purpose of the service ?

(e.g. the internet shop doesn’t need consent to store your address for the purpose of shipping your order).

@CrypticMirror I'd argue @Santaclaus has a strong Art. 6(1)(e) basis for this processing.

@CrypticMirror @Santaclaus He sees you when you're sleeping,
He knows when you're awake,
He knows if you're been bad or good,
'Cause he works for the CIA.
