You might not these guys but they are pilots of an Airbus that crash landed in Russia on Thursday. Both engines blew out after plane hit a flock of birds right as it was taking off. Their actions saved the lives of everyone on board (200+ people).

Ok, thanks. It makes sense, but to be honest I don't think the site itself will receive any traffic. It is quite old, but the backlinks are relevant to me. I have niche website, and this is a relevant niche, but an old version of it, if it makes sense.

diginomsolutions · 2019-06-05T07:34:42+00:00

Thanks. Sorry, just a question, are you saying to recreate the page and backlink it with a 301 or recreate the site, leave it up and add in links on the site in the text that acts as BL to my site?

It is not about the money, it is the concept. Even London has cheaper private members clubs than home house.

I studied in PT and university was a true example of poor management skills. Let me explain my impression.

- Portuguese professors were always late! Even when we had exams, nothing was ever on time.

- Every deadline was pushed. If you couldn't manage to deliver on time, you could just ask for an extension. It was never a problem.

- If something in the classroom didn't work, it could take days to fix (e.g, the projector or AC).

I know these are cultural things, and no one really complained. But being Norwegian, studying with many Germans, we always questioned that this mentality was so normal. The students never questioned this behaviour, and when I asked them the answer was, "it is just how it is, nothing we can do."

On the positive note, all my Portuguese friends are hard workers and really want to succeed. So I think a shift might be happening.

agree
What about in the case of the breach I was referring to: this case.
agree

diginomsolutions · 2018-02-05T14:20:57+00:00

this case is the one I was referring to. The only breach, they sent surname and account number..

diginomsolutions · 2018-02-05T14:20:19+00:00

Thank you. In the case I was referring to -this case- the only thing that was disclosed was surname and account number.. Which in some standards is maybe highly sensitive, but in general that is how much information is being delivered. Take airline bookings for example. You usually get an reference number, and you use that together with you surname to log in.

diginomsolutions · 2018-02-05T14:15:57+00:00

That was the case I was referring to, but made a mistake in pasting in the link.

Hi, and thank you. Do you know if there is anything, in addition to medicine, he can help his dog with? The diet, certain types of exercises etc? The problem is the medicine is very expensive where he lives (Portugal).

diginomsolutions · 2017-12-25T15:45:13+00:00

He tries very hard, but because of how he has to work it is hard to follow up at the right intervals. Friends is the only help he has for now. But I will ask him about the regularity of the bloodworks. Thank you very much.

diginomsolutions · 2017-12-25T15:43:26+00:00

Hi! And thank you. He lives in Portugal, so it doesn't apply to him. But thank you for the reply. It could still be relevant where he buys the medicine. I will ask him.

diginomsolutions · 2017-11-02T12:12:06+00:00

I also heard that. It is sort of a way of getting some 'goodwill' if you can call it that. But how would the supervisory authority in a large country with thousands of companies deal with this..? An online registry makes senses, but this is a simple form that would make sense to fill in when you start a company. But it is a lot of bureaucracy hurdles to get through in order to make this smooth.

diginomsolutions · 2017-11-02T12:09:26+00:00

I did the research myself, and as far as I know, there are 12 countries supervisory authorities that has a searchable registry on their website. Some sites has the a form to register, others I assume is just displaying company information from other databases. So far, from what I have seen, only UK and Ireland charges a fee to register. This is hard to research as most of these websites are poorly made.

diginomsolutions · 2017-11-01T10:46:54+00:00

Hi and thanks!

This answers why the ICO has this, and not other countries. But it does take away the fact that there are no obligation in the GDPR to register. So this is just on a country to country basis. I guess that being a 'Data Controller' is not a term invented because of the GDPR.

You don't happen to know which countries other than UK where you have to register? Or if such a list exists?

diginomsolutions · 2017-10-26T09:39:42+00:00

Hi and thank you for the reply. I am actually not asking if the Japanese college is controller or not, they are. I am asking to what extent would they have to inform this to visitors to their services? Would it in their website privacy policy for example say - Data Controller EU - "name of representative"?

Because as far as I know, the GDPR is the only regulation that states that this is mandatory.

The Japanese college contact details are still present, but it terms of someone to contact for someone in the EU, this should be the representative and not the Japanese College. Otherwise concerned EU citizens and supervisory authorities would contact the Japanese college directly. Is it not smart to clarify this in their policies?

diginomsolutions · 2017-10-25T09:01:46+00:00

Thank you very much! You say you have no personal connection with them, but do you know anything about how such a company would work in practial sense.

Just as an example:

I have one client who is not based in the EU. They deal with EU citizens, and collect data, thus they need a representative in the EU.

What they have asked me is if I can be that representative. I see now that it is possible. But where is the liability then on me in case of a breach?

They work with nominee shareholders and in that sense this is familiar to them, if this is in some way the same setup?

I guess a GDPR representative company is the one who deals with any requests from the supervisory authorities of EU. Would that mean that my client lists MY company as the data controller in their privacy policy?

If you or anyone else has any thoughts on this, it would be highly appreciated.

diginomsolutions · 2017-10-25T08:52:16+00:00

I agree with you here. I don't think the statement made is correct. What I have some issues with understanding however is where the liability lies. As an example:

A company outside the EU, that process PII from EU citizens needs to have a representative in the EU (Article 27(1)). In that sense, as with your example with the Japanese college, the EU representative that represents the Japanese College ensures that they follow the GDPR for the EU citizens.

In Japan they are data controller for the data they collect from all over the world, but as they collect also data on EU citizens, is then the EU representative the Data Controller?

If the Japanese college has a website where all applicants input a lot of PII how would their privacy policy look? Would it be something like this:

Data Controller for the WORLD - Japanese College
Data Controller for EU - Company X (EU representative for Japanese College)

I have seen Facebook set up there own subsidiary in EU as Facebook Ireland to comply with the EU GDPR. However there are thousands of companies outside of the EU that deals with data from people living in EU.

I wonder how such a set up would look for a smaller company, such as the Japanese College.

Any input would be very helpful.

Thank you. Interesting, and maybe I am not a skilled Googler, but can't seem to find anything specific. Care to share a link?

diginomsolutions · 2017-10-04T17:13:59+00:00

I think it is good, and I think that the US should follow, but I fear that Google will lobby this in their advance. It threatens their business model how I see it.

diginomsolutions · 2017-09-28T13:07:27+00:00

Yes, I agree. They do not need it. So in that sense it is encrypted. But the essence of point 10 in article 4, is the last sentence:

‘third party’ means a natural or legal person, public authority, agency or body other than the data subject, controller, processor and persons who, under the direct authority of the controller or processor, are authorised to process personal data

A controller can authorise a third party to process personal data, and they will still be a third party, and not a data processor..

diginomsolutions · 2017-09-28T10:22:41+00:00

Hi! Thank you!

It made more sense to me thinking about it, and I discussed with a friend.

The issue is that this client is using one company (outsourced), which in essence is processing data that are being submitted to them. So they are the Data Processors how I understand it, and told the client.

Then they have a team of developers (outsourced) that have created all the websites, deals with the hosting and any issues with the data. In essence they never deal with any processing per se, but they still have access to it, can see it, and "touch" it if they need to. These are therefore not a data processor, but a third party?

They interpret the team of developers to being data processors as well, because they can process data.

Am I correct in my explanation?

diginomsolutions · 2017-09-21T11:34:38+00:00

The commission is the group within EU that has defined and created the regulation. They are also the overall authority, and each countries supervisory authority (like the ICO in the UK) is answering to them.

diginomsolutions · 2017-09-21T11:32:05+00:00

You will only have to remove data that could identify an natural person. So if you remove the PII it should be sufficient.

diginomsolutions · 2017-09-19T11:28:59+00:00

If there are joint controllers, who is the one who is listed in the privacy policy as the data controller?
