So, in every point things you would want to know from your outsourcing company. Right?

I'm sure it's causing a few coronary episodes among data providers.

I'm sure it does. But is that a bad thing? It makes them straighten up their business.

That all sounds eminently sensible for me, and a long overdue rebalance of rights in favour of the consumer. The recent Cambridge Analytica/Facebook fiasco should be sufficient evidence of the need for this.

It is all common sense. Except it's hard. It's like they want to make a car 100% safe and have zero fatalities, but they also want a car that people actually enjoy driving and more important, want to buy.
Take backups as an example. Backups contain Personally Identifiable Info (PII). If someone requests to be forgotten then they need to be purged everywhere. EVERYWHERE. Except who is going to go and screw around with their backups to purge data from backups? You'd want to make a backup before such a dangerous operation, right?
It's also a little vague. It talks about a Data Subject not EU citizen, and the consensus is that this means anyone in the EU. So an Australian on holidays to the EU has the rights the GDPR instills simply by being in the EU. However, how do you prove someone's actually in the EU when they make a right to be forgotten request? What if they access the internet via a VPN or Proxy that's based in the States? Essentially you have assume the GDPR applies to everyone on the planet.
Given that there are about 100 of these types of regulations around it's become the case that you have to cater to the lowest common denominater. The burden on companies who are honestly trying to do the right thing and are barely making it through their day dealing with their actual business is overwhelming. They basically live with the Sword of Damocles hanging over them.

Hi,
In the community lounge, under the Non-English Language sub-section I am seeing only two Sub-topics Indian and Chinese, do other Country or Continent users see different topics than me being Indian? Why don't we have sub-topics for other Countries too? Just checking
Thanks,

Nope, just Indian and Chinese - because we have a large community of both.
If a community was popular enough or big enough and asked the admins nicely I'm sure they would add one or two.
But adding random forums that don't get any traffic on the off chance they might get used doesn't make a lot of sense.

Not enough numbers to sustain other languages, often ends us just one person talking to themselves.
Anyway here in the lounge other languages do appear from time to time, last month alone I've seen German, Dutch, Spanish, French, Latin, not to forget a fair few different flavours of English.

The Indian forum is in English though, since that's the common language spoken across all states.
|
|
|
|

That's because their use of English is appalling.

That is why lots of call centers are in India !!!

A lot of dictionaries/language books are treating that as its own dialect - Indian English. That said, the Indian forum is in English, since there's no Indian regional language (including Tamil/Hindi/Punjabi) that everyone understands.

I am constantly told that I need to maintain a very active LinkedIn Profile. What are your thoughts?

I've got a linkedin profile, not touched it for years. Still get messages about people are looking at it, and people it suggests I should connect to.
Really can't be bothered, it's just facebook for bragging about qualifications and promotions.
(Only plus point is no pictures of your freind's-friend's-friend's new baby or what your smartphone addicted mates had for lunch.)

So do you use social media or anything else for your professional life?

The day it becomes a requirement for me to have any sort of social media account "for my professional life" is the day I throw in the towel.

This! If I could manage to get my other thumb out of my ass I'd give it two thumbs up

Sentiment understood. I would be more inclined to use that towel, rolled up, to apply some old school locker room antics.

Don't really use anything, direct approach, word of mouth.
(Almost semi retired, work only by request if it's interesting and/or to pass time as getting older and can only spend so many hours on my bike each week.)
LinkeIn is probably OK for younger folk but you must maintain it, almost weekly (minimally monthly) need be touching it up, checking layout/readability - for goodness sake do spell check - that matters to recruiters and their filter software - recruiters often run their keyword scans through it so it can help to find work.
I'd be wary of other social media particularly where other people can comment/reply or even link to it, last thing you want is to have put effort into a good write-up about yourself and have some moron post a stupid comment or joke - at least LinkedIn doesn't have that feature.
