Ah deeply hurt, it's known that artists and writers produce their best works when they are in a state of misery. So it is up to us to keep you in this state. To formulate it in a language that you will understand: you will not be stateless anymore

WTF?
Why do you get to have a hug day and we dont?
|

Because every day is Hug Day in France!

Please except mine, belatedly.
What ever you do, don't offer a New Zealander a hug. I have met two or three who were offended at being asked if they were Australian. Something like this would certainly send them right over the edge. I think they were a two cent stamp short of going postal already though.

If another forum better then the lounge for this, let me know.
What are the GDPR rules for my Lightbulb indication software?
So given I have a bunch of lightbulbs that will connect over the internet to a web server, which you can log into in a brower to see gathered on/off states of your lightbulbs.
now in the server side of things, you can mark up the lightbulbs as much as you want. Meaning you can put in say lightbulb 1365 is in Room: Billys Room, at 14 Acre Road, London.
The sensor only transmit out its ID and state of on/off. It has no location information.
So the discussion, in my view, is left to the user to put in what every details they want.
What obligations do I need to get consent from to indicate that the service provide (me) needs to get?
A side from clear sign up indication like: The details you choose to enter are totatly up to you. All sensor data is clear of GEO Location or specific details. Details entered only stored on service side, and used on your report pages.
Not even understood the cookie thing, because to remove the message that you don't want cookie tracking, you would keep that information in a cookie so you dont prompt the user constantly.

I'm not a lawyer, but I seriously doubt the GDPR regulations would extend to users typing PII into random text boxes. You're not asking for their personal details; I'd hope you can't be held responsible if your users go out of their way to give you their details anyway.
"I posted my wallet through your letterbox; now I'm going to sue you for stealing my wallet, because it's in your house!"
Of course, like all similar laws (including the "cookie law"), I'm sure it will make lots of pointless work for SMEs, whilst doing bollock-all to stop the kinds of abuses that users actually care about.
And I must be getting old, because I find the whole concept of IoT light-bulbs ludicrous!

that only due to changing my real product to something else that is similar like, for the purpose of the GDPR (General Data Prolonged Rain).
And before you ask, no it's not a killer robot toy.

General Programming, add tags for Hardware & Devices.
But you may want to be more specific on the hardware, and programming language/interfaces.

Who wrote that document? It's so clear that I am amazed -- did not expect that.
Also, before I read that I thought GDPR was more stupid legislation that would mostly stifle innovation.
However, that document really makes things clear that it is about stopping people from collecting data from you without your consent and making it far more clear when they do collect data from you.
Thanks for posting that. Very good.

I can assure you that the official EU document is exactly what you would expect.
Oh, and it will stifle certain types of innovation. Farcebook is moving its stored data away from the EU.

GDPR is a big hairy mess that many people are doing what they can, within their means, and just hoping and praying.
You need to
- Demonstrate you are controlling access to your data. Only those who should get access get access, and only to the data they need
- Demonstrate you are securing your data. Eg if someone hacks your system and gets your data, personal info is still safe due to encryption
- Provide your users with the ability to be forgotten. That means every single piece of personally identifiable info about them, including IP address (including in web logs) must be purged on request
- Provide data portability: your users need to be able to access the data you have on them and be able to send it in legible form to someone else
- Announce if you've had a data breach
The devil's in the details. Good luck.
