Yes, that's the other side of the story. It's too common that various companies, or even government offices(!) use GDPR as an excuse to not tell you anything - even when the information you are requesting doesn't have anything to do with anyone's personal data (as defined in GDPR), they can still use GDPR as an excuse! I also heard that too many times: "we cannot tell you anything, because GDPR". People with bad intentions will abuse everything, and there's no law that works by itself and can guarantee anything just by its sheer existence. -- Regards, Jaroslaw Rafa [email protected] -- "In a million years, when kids go to school, they're gonna know: once there was a Hushpuppy, and she lived with her daddy in the Bathtub." _______________________________________________ mailop mailing list [email protected] https://list.mailop.org/listinfo/mailop
