Hello Goffi, thank you for the proposal.

While reviewing the protoXEP, I noticed that it currently does not include any reference to:

- the legal basis for data processing, as required under Article 6 of the GDPR (this is a key element for any service operating in or serving users from the EU);
-  the categories of personal data processed by the service;
- metadata processing information;
- explicit consent of the user to data processing.

I would suggest introducing a field, similar to the one described in §3.6 for the Terms of Service, to link to the Privacy Policy. If the service provider does not supply this link, the XMPP client SHOULD explicitly inform the user with a disclaimer, indicating that the Privacy Policy has not been disclosed by the service. Conversely, if the link is present, the client SHOULD make it visible to the user by displaying the corresponding URI in an easily accessible manner.

Moreover, if the Privacy Policy has been declared by the service provider, there SHOULD be a field that allows the user to explicitly give consent to data processing, in compliance with applicable data protection regulations.

Kind regards

Mario

Dear XMPP fellows,

{SNIP]

Best,
Goffi

Also I know that there are some lawyers in the XMPP community. I would very
love to have their input on the best way to show which law apply.

Currently, XEP-0080 is used to indicate the location of the servers (and I've
proposed a change which is in discussion to add ISO 3166-2 `regioncode` so we
can know the administrative region were the data are.

Is this enough to know if, e.g., GDPR apply? Or should we get a field with
other data (which)?

Thanks in advance,
Goffi
