You may have heard that the newGeneral Data Protection Regulation ("GDPR") goes into effect today, May 25, 2018.
To help comply with GDPR consent requirements, I have added a new privacy policy to FarmHomestead, clearly outlining how your personal information is collected and what it's used for and reassuring my readers that I don't collect anything that isn't necessary and will never sell or share your information.
The main updates include:Greater transparency on how data is collected and used.Increased clarity on the type of information collected.Increased rights, controls and choices for EU citizens over how personal data is used â and guidelines on accessing these controls.Weâve always been committed to keeping your information safe. This is just a formality.
I am NOT going to ask you to opt in again to receive my emails.
âWhy notâ I hear you cryâ¦!
Because for a lot of purposes I actually do not need to. Where my lawful ground of processing is legitimate interests (such as in sending you value based, non marketing emails) then, as we know, you don't need consent.
And for marketing purposes, if I do legally need to get your consent to send you marketing emails and I haven't already obtained a GDPR standard of consent from you, then I'm happy not to send you marketing emails unless or until I have legally obtained that GDPR standard of consent.
If it is the case that I legally need to obtain that consent from you for my (very few) marketing emails, I'm not going to be requesting that consent in this email - because frankly I'm sure you have had quite enough of people asking you that this week.
Where I am legally able to email you, you can always opt out of any emails at any time.
Although saying that, Iâm sure you wonât want to, as over the coming months, Iâll be keeping you updated with:
