With...And my draft privacy policy page: (Yikes!!) <br /><br />With the activation of GDPR and my belief any protection of personal data is a good thing, I have attempted to clarify how I operate here. This goes for everybody who comes into contact with me regardless of location at the time, place/s of usual residence, nationality/citizenship/ethnicity, etc. <br /><br />1) I have no newsletter nor customer database, and to that end I do not actively collect reader/customer data. <br /><br />2) On the occasion I sell my work online from my Blogger blog: <br /> a) I communicate via Gmail, (occasionall from Orcon.net.nz as backup,) until I have confirmation the customer has receiveed the goods. All correspondences are then deleted. <br /> b) I keep email notifications from NZ Post when I buy postage online, for seven years for tax purposes, on my password-protected computer. <br /> c) If payment is made by Paypal, sales records are kept attached to my Paypal account. <br /> d) If invoices are issued for payments by other means, I keep: <br /> i) electronic copies of invoices, encrupted and password-protected; <br /> ii) email to the customer containing the invoice, on a password-protected device; and<br /> III) printed invoice, in a locked file cabinet,<br /> for seven years required by New Zealand tax laws. <br /><br />3) In communicating on any matter, I delete emails/addresses when the matter is resolved, unless our communication become semi-regular. (As in, we become friends, which happens.) Ask me any time what data of yours I saved, and/or you would like it deleted. <br /><br />4) I use only one device, a laptop, which is password-protected and is regularly scanned using the regularly-updated virus scanes. I have a portable backup drive in a locked drawer. <br /><br />5) I do not store data on the cloud. <br /><br />6) Under no circumstances I sell or impart with your private data. I do, however, liberally and cheerfully distribute your publicly available links if asked. <br /><br />7) I use these public platforms:<br /> * My blog is on Blogger. <br /> * My email is with Gmail, and my backup is on Orcon.net.nz.<br /> * I have a weaving-specific page on Facebobok. (I have a Flickr account for now, which may be deleted.) <br /> * I use Paypal.<br /> * I use Ben's NZ Post account.

1...Summary of what I learned as of Tuesday May 29:<br /><br />1) Public platforms like blog/photo hosts, mail hosts, social media platforms, selling platforms and others like Paypal are supposed to do their part. Which is a convenient way of saying, if you lean on the skeptical side, we have no control over it. However, a friend opened my blog in France, and sent me a screen shot which inclueded a blue band at the top asking for consent, so there's that re. Blogger. <br />2) Our responsibilities/abilities, therefore, are mainly over our own devices and physical premises, although contents may overlap what sit on public platforms. <br />3) Main points appear to be, and this is for those us residing/operating outside Europe: <br /> a) Lock up. Encrupt/password-protect files and physiically lock up paper records. <br /> b) Tell what data you collect, (how you save them?), (and how long you intend to keep them?). <br /> c) Tell how you intend to use the collected data, e.g. newsletter emails. <br /> d) Get consent. <br /> The rest of what I've read appear to be paraphrasing one or more of the above, unless you have a large operation. <br /><br />Best practice among us would have to be Cally's website/blog, https://callybooker.co.uk/privacy-policy/, although be warned, her Cookies specific page is eye-watering. She also makes an excellent point of letting your customers know your policies by perhaps linking to your privacy page when you communicate with them. <br /><br />There is also a very good chance arts council/collectives and/or Internet resources for arts/crafts or even helpful government ministeries, if they still exist, has a skelton declaration which you may be able to modify. <br /><br />I have a few more links left to study so I'll either add or amend if I find anything.

Guess I need to google it to see what to do. If you find out, let us know. This is just more regulatory BS for small businesses to have to take on. And then people complain when we raise our prices to cover "unbillable" time spent on administrivia. <br />The tax on gas went up in CA earlier in the year...and then the price of everything else, food most glaringly, to cover the now-increased transpo costs.
