EU, People, and Privacy
Standards organizations should be aware that effective May 25 of 2018, the new European Union (EU) General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) requires that organizations obtain consent from all participants who are EU “data subjects” (even if the organization does nothing in the EU) for the use of their personally identifying information. This includes names, contact information, and email addresses. This would imply that normal distribution lists and other information may not include those folks unless you have positive consent. Standards organizations should evaluate their privacy policies and consult their legal staff as to the things they need to do if they have any participants who reside in Europe. Note that the fine for violations can be up to 20 million Euros or four percent of worldwide revenue.
