I find it a bit odd to see you making a comment here, and not in the
'--nomysqueezebox thread'. But please say so, if you don't want us to
use or promote --nomysqueezebox.
I've left similar comments every now and then. Whenever I see the
"feature" getting too much attention I add to it. My bad :-).
One thing I would like to know is if Logitech is still using this shared
data, and if this is compliant the General Data Protection Regulation
(GDPR).
Yes, it is. I'm not the expert myself, but we do have experts asking me
questions and telling me what to do in this regard.
First of all: there's no data collected for the sake of collecting data.
I removed analytics code years ago.
https://github.com/Logitech/slimserver/commit/2f7cb049a594917b2406de537fc5955062bca364
The SB related websites no longer use Google Analytics and the likes. I
think we no longer pull in any resource from any outside host.
What I call "data" is what is being stored as part of the integration.
Prefs syncing and app configurations. Plus technical data like web
server log files logging requests. That's it. We don't even store prefs
about non-Logitech hardware players. It's really all about the feature
of potentially switching a player from LMS to mysb.com and back.
Second: "Logitech" as a larger organization does not actively use this
data. What I'm asked for every now and then is summarized numbers like
"how many users/devices are there". I'm likely the only one even knowing
how to get to that data. AFAIK there are only three people (including
myself) who have access to the database.
And you can easily delete your account from mysb.com.
If you didn't provide credentials in LMS but didn't apply the --nomysb
flag either, the devices would still use the image proxy on mysb.com to
speed up image resizing. All the data collected in this case is the log
entry in nginx' access.log file. That's what I'd use to estimate the
number of players out there still actively being used.
With --nomysb applied I don't have that information any more. Which
means I don't "see" those installations.
I'm sorry for this totally off-topic, and rather lengthy posting. But
you asked for it :-P. I definitely don't want to be a pain about the
nomysb flag. After all I did implement it. But as so often I didn't
consider the negative impact it might have. I considered it an easy way
for myself to make sure LMS would still run without mysb.com. Only later
I came to realize that it could also prevent me from making sure
mysb.com does not go away too soon...
