sulervo Posted January 8, 2018 Share Posted January 8, 2018 How about Privacy Shield? https://www.privacyshield.gov Would be very helpful with IPS hosted forums. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cyboman Posted January 9, 2018 Share Posted January 9, 2018 I created a support ticket about privacy shield and the predecessor 2 years ago but IPS wasn't interested enough. That's the reason why I'm hosting myself on european servers and why I'm NOT using IPS hosting for my commerce communities operating in european countries.

Management Matt Posted January 9, 2018 Management Share Posted January 9, 2018 My understanding is that the privacy shield won't protected against GDPR when it comes in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sulervo Posted January 9, 2018 Author Share Posted January 9, 2018 We don't have to think GDPR is somehow a bad thing. We don't need protection from GDRP. Of course it causes lot of extra work but so what. Smart people have decided this is a good thing for us Please read Chapter five: http://eur-lex.europa.eu/legal-content/EN/TXT/HTML/?uri=CELEX:32016R0679&from=en Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Management Matt Posted January 9, 2018 Management Share Posted January 9, 2018 Yeah sure, sorry - I didn't mean that in a negative way. Just that the privacy shield is a little mitigated as of May this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

F.e. After the cancellation of "safe harbor" (= the predecessor) in 2015 by the EU, we weren't allowed to transfer our communities from europe to united states hosting companies, as the US are considered to have insecure regulations use any bulk mailer companies (like mailchimp at that time), that operate with servers only hosted in the US a.s.o. unless the according US company, that hosts and processes the privacy data operations "certifies" for privacy shield. Big companies like google or amazon certified themselves very fast to demonstrate a stronger data privacy handling than it is forced by US law. That was important for them to be protected from EU laws. Because they know, the EU will come one day and sue them extremely high, or in the worst case, just shut down their services.
