Edited by admin to update link for privacy policy after SMF update.

Although the GDPR privacy policy has been available for a while, I shall be attempting a forced change which will require your agreement to acknowledge that it has been read.

I shall also attempt to force a re-read of the registration agreement.  It's basically the same but has an additional paragraph about GDPR Data Protection at the bottom. 

Hopefully if I'm quick enough (I have everything prepped),  I can force both at the same time.

Cheers guys.
   
I believe the software should automatically place a marker against your account to record that you have read the new policy so that the forum is compliant with the new GDPR rules.   Because the forum stores personal info (eg email) it has different requirements from the main site.   

I've no idea how I would pull info for who has read and who hasn't, but the main thing is that the software knows and wont let you proceed to make a post etc until you have read it.   Someone kindly wrote a quick mod hack for SMF forums which enables admins to force users to accept the updated policy changes after I bought the topic up on SMF about GDPR.

Both the Privacy Policy & the Registration Agreement appeared at first site viewing. Both accepted.

Good work, kitz!

Hi kitz

Kudos to you

Sorry, Tapatalk did not display them sorry

Interestingly, just watched bbc and IC stated most not needed, and as example, those who joined a membership (which I think a forum could be classed as loosely), do not require to make any real change, or seek new confirmation from its users. All they need to do is update the privacy policy etc as you have, but do not need detailed information who has accepted the new policies

Many thanks

Not sure what I can do about that as the tapatalk software sits on top and I presume they will have to have their own policy changes.

What program was that.   I'd like to see if its on iplayer.    The problem is a lot of us have been left in the dark not knowing what applies to whom.   A lot of advice is undecided and the fact that the IC only today came up with this on d-day shows how little info there is.   I spent an hour hanging on their help line a few days ago to try get clarification on something, but every time you call they are constantly engaged.     

I'm part of a large discussion for SMF forum owners who are trying to seek clarification...  and a couple of other owners are talking about more in-depth stuff which I don't personally feel will apply such as portability of PMs.   To be quite frank I hope its not because as it currently stands admin doesnt have access to PMs and I have absolutely no interest in something which may be able to do so.   Yet some are saying we should be able to because the likes of FB provide this function.   If there is something from the ICO that says we have done sufficient then I'd love to feed that back.

Hi kitz

Many thanks

It was bbc news/morning on weekdays between 6 - 9.15. Sorry breakfast tv.

They had the IC on the sofa and had a general talk/questions

Only lasted a few minutes but this is where she stated - most do not need to send emails/take all this action, mentioning as example hairdressers, membership etc who have an ongoing relationship with the user/client and should continue to communicate as they previously did eg appointment reminders etc... and importantly do not have to gain explicit permission to do so, as it is ongoing relationship

I am not sure if it is on iPlayer but guess it would be or on bbc.co.uk

Many thanks

John

Oops sorry, it was about 7.40 ish time I think
