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 :)
