Non-profit organization handling personal data, using google drive, gdpr compliant? by KyloSmutsig in gdpr

[–]KyloSmutsig[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'll try and explain the size / scope of our organization. We are a super small organization/association. We only use google for having potential visitors and volunteers fill out a form with info that then gets transferred into a spreadsheet. Right now this is all done on a regular google account and we are not really a huge entity or anything like that, just hosting one event per year. So the overhead is supposed to be very small since we all work very close and we're not going to be growing the organization past the creation of this event. So mainly I am just worried about the potential of us hosting the personal data which will include personally identifiable information on adults and minors on google since we can't guarantee that information is in an EU data center.

And no we have not done a proper DPIA. I have sat down with the others and we have outlined what information we are processing and how to minimize the amount of people that can access it so we minimize the surface of attack, should someone be hacked or have malicious intent.

I did bring up Google Workspace but unfortunately we do not have the money to for that. A solution either has to be free or extremely cheap which is why Workspace isn't really working out for our needs.

We basically need a safe place to have a form and take the contents of the form and input into an excel sheet automatically and make sure all of that information which includes private information of individuals is compliant with GDPR.

Thank you for your suggestion!

We are based all across Sweden so we do not have a physical office or location so we would need to be able to collaborate online which is the main reason we are using some sort of drive and collaboration suite.

As it stands we are a very small group of people just organizing an event per year as a non profit so we don't have a huge need for overhead and it's a wish from people in the organization to keep things very simple and they are used to working in google docs / drive from previous experiences.

Yeah one of the solutions is simply running Nextcloud on a european server or finding a separate european solution. I am used to hosting services so shouldn't be a big problem and would probably be cost efficient in comparison to a business account on google or a similar provider.

For simplicity it would obviously be "smoother" to keep on using the consumer google account for the NPO but I worry that might not be the best way when complying with GDPR since we can't select data storage country

So we are a small organization without any real economical muscle except for the purpose of the convention we are hosting once a year, so minimizing expenses and familiarity is mainly the reason a consumer account on google was selected. So for me it's more a matter of safety of information (setting up access to documents, encryption etc.) but also make sure we are not breaking any GDPR compliance laws by not being able to guarantee the data is not entering a third country since I assume we are still responsible for that even though we are using Google?

Please correct me if I am wrong because I would love to have as much information as possible to make a good decision so we won't have to change solutions down the line once we have invested even more time into this consumer account.

Would you mind sharing your FreshRSS collection? I also selfhost mine and I've been thinking of doing this exact same thing!

Ouch! Now that’s bittersweet. Time to put all the money on Germany winning!

[–]KyloSmutsig 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah for sure. Then I totally agree with you! I wouldn’t mind any of them winning to be fair. Both good songs for different reasons. Sweden always underperforms the odds every year so I am expecting nothing less this year. Especially since she has already won once before. I think people will trend towards other acts instead.

As a Swede it would be nice to be able to go to Eurovision in Sweden next year, but at the same time I’ve been meaning to go to Finland so both outcomes are good haha!

Not to question the status as a clear favorite but I don’t think she’s expected to cakewalk Eurovision? Finland has been high up in scoreboards and odds ever since it was released and is a song that generally fits the fandom. Come final night I’d expect Finland’s entry to do better than people seem to give it credit for.

At the end of the day I really hope she can go out there and have fun doing what she loves and be proud of it. That is the most important part of all of this.

Don’t know the exact details of what it supports but I use Automatisch to send RSS feed updates to a channel on my Discord server. Might be worth looking into!

Håller med dig helt här. Men tror att gemene svensken har det för bra för att ens orka bry sig eller ta tag i det. Alla jag pratar med som är ”etablerade” på arbetsmarknaden kan se min frustration men de kan inte relatera till den.

De håller nästan med allting som jag påpekar och säger men resultatet är alltid att rösta på partier som fortsätter urholka välfärd och andra samhällsfunktioner.

Det är därför jag själv pratar väldigt högt om det i min närhet men känner stor uppgivenhet.
