Just wondered what people are doing to comply with the GDPR, it seems a bit of a minefield at the moment.
It looks like pretty much everyone is going to have to comply, from large businesses down to forums like this one
I have a forum, and the only data I collect is IP address, email address and date of birth, but from reading, just an ip address is enough to be affected by it. Nightmare for me as the forum automatically logs the IP and no way of switching it off.
I'm going to have to change the privacy policy, and email the full database telling then if they want to remain a member they have to login, accept new T&C's, and if not they will have the account deleted. Then work out some way of doing that
What makes it worse is, I use VBulletin 4, and they have said they won't update anything so no easy option, I'm actually thinking of switching to a different forum its going to cause that much work. @Casinomeister do you know if theres anything in xenforo that makes it easy?
