The current privacy policy may violate EU legislation.
in Make It So!
So, I launched ST Timelines in Steam just to get a message about accepting two changes that Tiliting Point (TP) and after I read it through I started to read the 9th article in the privacy policy and after I read this, what I quoted below, I stop reading.
The way I see it that part, I bolded, needs to be removed from the privacy policy, because if any European residents accept this then one has accpeted a clause in which we, European residents, give up our right to deny TP personal information which itself is controlled by the EU GDPR-directive. The only reason TP may have for continue processing personal data is, if a European resident is directly involved in an investigation for violating the Terms of Service (ToS) then the bolded part is acceptable.
Or at least TP inform a European resident(s) about processing personal data despite our removal of our consent.
One more thing, I am from Sweden and not a lawyer, but I do know a thing or two about EU and I'm 99% sure this policy may violate EU legislation.
