@st3fan It’s not GDPR, it’s the ePrivacy Directive. TDDDG is the German national implementation of the ePrivacy Directive. Important (and violated) is Article 5, sentence 3.  @davidculley I am not a lawyer. But I am really not sure if that section means what you think it means. @st3fan It’s not what I say. It’s what privacy experts and their lawyers say. I just read their blog. @st3fan Besides, it says: > is offered the right to refuse such processing How can I refuse if the telemetry is sent as soon as I open the app, before I can even go to the settings menu and change opt-out to opt-in? The telemetry was already sent without me being able to refuse. So I don’t think I misunderstood it. @davidculley I don't know. I am not a layer and I definitely don't know the German situation well. I do think it is complicated and somewhat ambiguous. It seems the TDDDG specifically applies to the Telecommunications and Telemedia industry? And it mostly talks about websites and cookies. Is a mobile app part of that? Or would K-9 fall under the BDSG, which seems to use the same definitions as the GDPR around classification of personal data and when consent needs to be asked? |
@davidculley Oh they speak from a “TDDDG” perspective. Is that something Germany added on top of the GDPR?
