I'd hate to be with you when you're on your own.
Funny but it's a long road to ru(wh)in.

Down with this sort of thing!
He he. On a serious note, that article itself is in breach of GDPR by publicly disclosing the girl's date of birth

It's quite possible to have regulation that addresses the issues without going over the top, for me this one missed that mark.
So how do you email potential customers, without asking if it's ok first, this is the one must companies are struggling with, personally anyone who requests their data will be removed, except for payroll which will be interesting if anyone make a request.
GDPR is a heavy handed attemp to control social media, it will be interesting to see all the work around in a few months time.
Anyway this thread was supposed to be humorous:-)
So clever my foot fell off.
If it's a consumer, you can be fined if you email them to ask them this...but that was the case before GDPR.
I'd rather have a dozen unsolicited marketing emails than one nuisance phone call about PPI, accidents that never happened, windows scrappage and such like.
Shame more effort isn't concentrated in this area.

There needs to be middle ground with this.
A customer has to contact me, once that contact is made to be able to contact them, text them, email them a quote etc I need their information......it's frigging obvious.
At that point if those people had issue with giving me the info they wouldn't have frigging given it to me in the first place.
Now every single customers record I hold, I have to click a link and tell the software I have that verbal confirmation was obtained....it's ridiculous.
Nope it's the regulation and it's broad definition of what needs protecting. SPI sure, but protecting everything that can identify an individual is too much, especially when it gets broadened to include IP addresses and domain names. Am just looking forward to the first time a GDPR consultant discovers how networks actually function with ARP caches, FIB, etc. So I can't cache that without consent, ok let's see how well this ends!
Franky if they're actually as customer then you don't need consent as there is allowance for data you need to uphold your end of a contract. If they're a sales lead then you do. Probably a limit of the software.

Sounds like fake news to me.
