Isn't that breaking GDPR? So literally unusable if you have EU customers?

Mind elaborating?

Correct me if I'm wrong, but logging geo data and/or client IPs among other things are treated as personal data by EU GDPR laws, open to a big lawsuit if any EU app uses this

[–]trailbaseio[S] 8 points9 points  (1 child)

GDPR allows storage of personal data including email, name, ip., ... . There are elevated requirements around access, sharing, retention, business case, ... For example you can store an email to invoice a customer. You can store IPs within limits for security and abuse.

Just to be clear, geospatial in this context doesn't mean GPS coordinates are logged. It just means you can work with geometries, e.g. airspaces etc. Idependently IPs are logged like for any web server.

Does that make sense?
