YES... I KNOW... IT SUCKS.... but...
Opening this thread after someone has left a bad review on my sim because she didnt agree about the GDPR policy...
"Wth is GDPR policy"
- The General Data Protection Regulation (EU) 2016/679 ("GDPR") is a regulation in EU law on data protection and privacy for all individuals within the European Union (EU) and the European Economic Area (EEA). It also addresses the export of personal data outside the EU and EEA areas. The GDPR aims primarily to give control to individuals over their personal data and to simplify the regulatory environment for international business by unifying the regulation within the EU.
"All grids asking for registration then?"
- Not all grids but the commercial ones were forced to.
"WTH I have to do with this law if I not even European?"
- YES, I KNOW.. IT SUCKS.... but... Grids owners cant control (or its too complex and costy $$$) to know who is who. I run a Norwegian sim but I could be from Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia on RL or even from Tivunantampuran, India and u wouldnt know...
"I DON`T LIKE PEOPLE COLLECTING DATA FROM ME"
-YES... I KNOW... IT SUCKS.... but... let me tell u a thing.. Info being collected refers only to ur av name, age, IP address, time u log in there and harware/software used on PC used only for grid statistics.. Grids owners are not worried if u watch porno on PC or even u own copybotted stuffs in inventory.. And guess what. ALL GRIDS ALWAYS COLLECTED info about u. Difference now u know tha happens!!
" I TRIED TO MAKE 3 TIMES REGISTRATION AND STILL CANT TP OUT"
-YES... I KNOW... IT SUCKS.... but... please follow carefully instructions from grids website.. Most of times (99,9%) are from people who types either "http" or the "/" (or even both) at hypergrid address.. For whom IMmed asking for help I could manage them all to get to my sim, so please dont give us, sim owners, a bad review. just try to contact us first (or why not the grid support).
"NAH, I STILL DONT WANT TO MAKE THE DAMN REGISTRATION"
-YES... I KNOW... IT SUCKS.... but... Sun is yellow, Moon is white, someone here is gay - u couldnt not agree but if u still want to travel hypergrid (stuff u cant do at SL) its ur choice.. but nothing u do will change it. and my advise is: relax! registration is done once for AV!
"ITS TOO MUCH STEPS TO TRAVEL HYPERGRID.."
YES... I KNOW... IT SUCKS.... but... some people working to make process more simple. Hope one day all grids will do the same (but its all about $$$ u know)..
Bill Bright has just shown me a project he s been working at to make it more simple (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/General_Data_Protection_Regu...).
well, hope to have clarified about GDPR here. Please leave ur comments here and tell me what u think about this thread. Thx :)

New to hypergrid but my world's definitely not commercial, I didn't much like the amount of crap it caused on other earlier grids, one of the reasons I started my own sim.
I reckon we're better off without tieing our worlds to fiat currencies and the idea of a debt economy - why replicate RL when we can do and be so much better?

There's alot of politics that go into the good and bad of the GDPR, but is easier to comply then be on the offense. I have nothing to hide. Good article to bring to light though Jimmy.

Hi Jimmy,
Are folks not aware that most regular websites they visit collect that information? How do they think specific ads keep popping up which target their shopping interests, references to past articles or searches they have performed online and viewed, and promotions in the area that they reside in? The data collected here is much less invasive.
As to their registration and traveling around the Hypergrid ... it is a matter of choice which is given to the individual and should be utilized by them. The beauty of the Hypergrid is that if you do not like the standards that have been set up, the registration process, etc. of one specific grid you can find hundreds of other sims to visit. It is not as if we all fall under one umbrella and one grid. Varying choices do exist, which are not readily available by some other interactive platforms ...
You have a beautiful and interactive sim/region, which I enjoy visiting, and I hope many do not pass over visiting your region over a posted comment but decide for themselves.
And ... I can't wait for the Northern Lights!
Regards.
