I’d be really keen to host a lemmy instance but just wondering with GDPR and everything, if there is anything else to consider outside of the technical setup and provisioning of hardware?
Lemmy is storing users data so is there any requirement to do anything GDPR wise?
Hope this is the right place for this - But seen a lot of posts interested in hosting their own lemmy instance, and this is an extension of that
The link I provided says that pseudonymous data can be used to hide personalized data.
The owner of lemmy.one can use [email protected] to map it to an IP and/or email address. This becomes now personally identifiable data. But other instance owners can’t map it to any personalized data, so it is basically “anonymized data” for them.
You just have to provide a way to either
Disclaimer, IANAL, YMMV, yaddy, yadda,…
Understood, missed that subtelty. The fact emails aren’t actually shared makes it very GDPR “friendly”
