    Easier to hope that your email server isn't hacked, or just delete the feckin lot and keep an archive in a locked safe so you can restore when you need something.

    What's it all about, then? I keep getting emails which effectively say 'please let me continue to clog your email box with nonsense - you need to give me permission now.

    Naturally I will not do this as I am sick with the amount of rubbish I receive which never, ever gets read.

Not that there aren't some sensible ideas about security and privacy in the legislation, but ultimately compliance with this thing is practically impossible.

    I'm sure journalism has worked out how it intends to navigate it all but I am curious - If you print 'fact' A about citizen X, can X claim that you are not only keeping personal information without consent, but that you are publishing and selling it, and that is not even accurate data if they dispute the fact? You can claim public interest but will you win?

    The requirements are vast, the obligations complex, yet vague and contradictory, the costs considerable, and the punishments are draconian if the powers-that be want to enforce them (the potential for corrupt political abuse is quite disturbing).

    I could go on for hours and I probably will
    but I'd sooner put some joy back in ...

    etc
    Ah, well the joy is that journalism remains protected by the laws theLords tried to destroy last week. GDPR is all about commercial info.

    You just have to have a concrete plan for being compliant, don't you?.

    I look forward to the day after I leave my job where I'll use GDPR to instruct my employer to collate all PI and SPI data and remove it from all internal systems within the appropriate timelines.

    Sick to my back bollócks of it already, the number of external DPA I have been asked to fill in and now a stupid and perhaps unnecessary email project to provide people with a link to our new Privacy Policy and the obvious shítstorm from that.

    Wenger out!

    So how will they pay you then?

    I'll have left by then and all monies will have been paid. You only do this after you leave not during your notice period

    Ah, I see. An important detail you did not include.

    I would urge caution however. You go to your new position and for whatever reason it does not work out, your current CV has time assigned to your current employer whom you will be asking to delete all PD and indeed SPI quoting the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) (EU) 2016/67.

    If a potential new employer looks into this your current employer will not be able to verify or confirm any details of your time there.

    For all a prospective employer knows you could have been in jail.
