Letters about some GDPR come to e-mail. What does it mean? How to respond to them?

Do not panic. It should be so
May 25, 2018 began to operate regulations Data Protection: General Data Protection Regulation, abbreviated as GDPR. These are the new rules that the European Union has come up with for companies working with personal data of clients. The regulation covers not only European companies, but also everyone who somehow works with the personal data of residents of the European Union. Believe me, there are a lot of such companies! Therefore, many today come a mountain of incomprehensible letters - especially, of course, to those who live in the EU. But the Russians are also affected.

You can do nothing. Almost
Most letters are arranged this way: hi-hi, thank you for using our services, we want to inform you that we are fulfilling the GDPR conditions. In such letters you will be informed that the company rewrote its user agreement and came up with a convenient way by which you can easily revoke it, ask to delete information about yourself or correct them.

Before writing my name on the board, I would like to know how you are going to use this data.
You may need to click on a button
Some services may stop sending you their mailings (yes, even if you do not live in the EU, and, for example, use a VPN), if you do not give direct consent. It is simple to do this - just click on the link directly in the letter with a warning about the termination of the mailing.

I came running from the Marathon. Do you want to receive messages after the entry into force of the GDPR?
But you have a reason to unsubscribe from a bunch of unnecessary newsletters!
Perhaps you will receive letters even from those services that you never use. It's time to deal with them! You can ask not to send you letters, but you can go further and prohibit the use of your personal data - the new rules require that this be a very simple matter. And finally, you can simply not resume the newsletter and do not click on anything. Spam will be less.

“I just want you to know that it means a lot to me.”
And I would like to stay in touch if you want.
- Who are you?
- Some site ...
GDPR informs about itself not only in letters
Some sites and applications - even those that you seem to have never trusted your personal data - for some reason, too, are in a hurry to warn you about GDPR. And not by letter, but right on the screen as soon as you go there! Nothing, it will probably pass soon.

We have supplemented our privacy agreement.
Be patient. This will all go on!
May 25 is the deadline for companies that are required to comply with the new regulation. Many sent messages to their users long before the deadline, but most decided to do so on the last day. A huge number of companies did not manage to fulfill all the new requirements at all, so it is likely that the flow of letters will continue - however, it is unlikely to be as intense.

Say about GDPR again!
In fact, GDPR is not so bad! In theory
Read how many new rights the residents of the European Union will receive - and not only them. Russians will also be able to better control what happens to their personal data. In any case, this is the plan!
