<p>As it has been brought up by Dotzero in a very reckless manner, I
feel it is important to point out what "consent" actually means in
the context of the GDPR:</p>
<p>First, implied consent is no longer sufficient under the current
regulation. The GDPR requires that the data subject signals
agreement to the specific and defined use of its data by "a
statement or a clear affirmative action".</p>
<p>In other words, an explicit and seperate opt-in is required,
where the action of providing consent is clearly distinguishable
from any other matters in a written document. This may be ticking
a seperate box on a website or choosing specific technical
settings, but in all cases it must be based on an explanation of
what it is that the data subject is agreeing to. Silence,
pre-ticked boxes or inactivity is insufficient. Hiding the consent
clauses in the registration agreement is insufficient.<br>
</p>
<p>This consent must be "freely given, specific, informed and
unambiguous."</p>
<p>Fun stuff comes in the next bit:</p>
<p><span class="m_-2603083178053328424md">The controller is required to provide “accurate
and full information on all relevant issues,” including the
nature of the data that will be processed, the purposes of
processing, the identity of the controller, and<b> the identity
of any other recipients of the data</b>.</span></p>
<p><span class="m_-2603083178053328424md">I will highlight the salient part again: "ANY
OTHER RECIPIENTS OF THE DATA." So no expansion of those with
access at a later data, because that would immediately
invalidate the consent given.</span></p>
<p><span class="m_-2603083178053328424md">Finally, this:</span></p>
<p><span class="m_-2603083178053328424md">"</span><span class="m_-2603083178053328424md">Importantly, a
controller may not make a service conditional upon consent,
unless the processing is necessary for the service." <br>
So no consent can be construed for any uses beyond the
functioning of the service, the internet and any other use tied
directly to the service. All those nice uses that whois data is
currently put to that have nothing to do with the service that
is provided to the data subject? Say goodbye to them now!<br>

the average non-expert citizen who might want to register a

I agree with you that we should not conflate collection

limitation principles with openness principles.
<br>
<br>
I respectfully disagree with most of what you wrote in the
first
<br>
paragraph of your post script.
<br>
Here we are talking about users potentially entering
personal or
<br>
pseudonymous information when they are not being asked for
it (nor
<br>
is it required) to begin with, and it is not required for
purposes
<br>
of which it's being collected. That is the
<br>
<br>
scope
<br>
of what needs to be assessed
<br>
if at all and how the scope needs to be
<br>
defined from the beginning
<br>
if you were to conduct a PIA
<br>
.
<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
Personal information is not being used or intended to be
used just
<br>
because a person decides to enter personal information
into a field.
<br>
<br>
The example of how you can combine databases to
re-identify a
<br>
person based on the SOA record is the equivalent of
protecting
<br>
domain names as personal information because a person
<br>
can register their driver's license
<br>
or name and date of birth
<br>
as a domain name.
<br>
<br>
I would argue no PIA should be required
<br>
as a result
<br>
even in accordance even with best practices.
<br>
<br>
A PIA needs to be conducted in a manner that is
commensurate with
<br>
the level of privacy risk identified
<br>
.
<br>
<br>
I respectfully disagree with you that thin data is
personal. We
<br>
are talking about identifiers (codes or strings that
represent an
<br>
individual or device). Many labels can be used to point
to
<br>
individuals. Some are precise and most, imprecise or
vague.
<br>
There's no question that an IP address is a device
identifier.
<br>
Device IDs, MAC addresses can be a source for user
tracking. But
<br>
i
<br>
dentifiers can be strong or weak depending on how precise
they
<br>
are as well as the context. It cannot be measured without
taking
<br>
linkability into consideration. For that reason, name
servers are
<br>
not the same as IP addresses or MAC addresses any more so
than the
<br>
existence of a domain name is an identifier. If a person
chooses
<br>
to use identifiable information when it is not being asked
for or
<br>
required for purposes of which the data is being
collected, that
<br>
does that mean we need to classify all the data according
to that
<br>
unlikely scenario. Those setting up their own DNS would be
<br>
relatively speaking, sophisticated Internet users that
presumably
<br>
know the basics of how DNS operates in any case, so by
entering
<br>
the information in that way, they are choosing to
customize their
<br>
DNS in a personal way similar to a person that chooses to
show
<br>
personal information on their license plate number.
<br>
<br>
I know that the motor vehicle registry is restricted now
in most
<br>
places so that you would need a subpoena to get that kind
of
<br>
personal information. This is also true of an IP address
though
<br>
and IP providers. The fact is a person can put their name
and date
<br>
of birth on a license plate if they want to customize it.
And then
<br>
they get on the road. That does not mean the license plate
numbers
<br>
are all personal information. It's pseudonymous data. It
is true
<br>
that it is a stronger identifier than an IP address
insofar as if
<br>
you subpoena the motor vehicle registry operator, you will
get the
<br>
personal information behind that license plate number. If
you
<br>
subpoena the ISP, you MIGHT get the personal information
depending
<br>
on the nature of the IP address. It's still true that to
drive a
<br>
car, you need to show your license plate number on the
vehicle.
<br>
<br>
I would argue that thin Whois data is pseudonymous or
personal
<br>
data to the same extent that a person can choose to
_customize_ a
<br>
license plate if they want to, and put personal or
psuedonymous
<br>
data into fields
<br>
for which the data being collected does not ask for or
require
<br>
them to do so.
<br>
<br>
<br>
A
<br>
person can register their driver's license as a domain
name.
<br>
They can use a personal email in their SOA record, or
personal NS.
<br>
Just because it's theoretically possible for someone to
enter
<br>
pseudonymous (or even personal) data into multiple
databases when
<br>
they are not being asked for it, and those combination of
choices
<br>
make it possible to identify them, does not mean one of
the sets
<br>
(Thin Whois) should be classified as personal information
subject
<br>
to a PIA.

Your summary today was great Andrew.
<br>
<br>
I am not arguing about the disclosure of thin data.
We
<br>
already voted on unauthenticated mandatory disclosure,
weeks
<br>
ago (or at least it feels like weeks ago). Lets
please move
<br>
on. We are debating this yet again, because people
keep
<br>
asking, is thin data personal? [lots of people missed
the
<br>
last call] The answer is yes (IMHO). Does that mean
it
<br>
cannot be disclosed? The answer is no. Does the
<br>
proportionality principle apply? Yes. Have we
already gone
<br>
through this? Yes. Can we come back to it? Yes, but
<br>
hopefully only if we have to.....we will have to when
we get
<br>
to data elements.
<br>
<br>
cheers Stephanie
<br>
PS a fundamental problem here is that people try to
categorize
<br>
information that in their view should be disclosed, as
not
<br>
personal information. This fight has gone on for
years over
<br>
IP address, for instance. The important question is
not
<br>
actually whether it is personal data or not, it is "do
you
<br>
need to disclose it to make things work?"....and if
the answer
<br>
is yes then you try to mitigate the disclosure and try
to keep
<br>
it minimized to what is absolutely required. Hence
the PIA,
<br>
which should employ both data minimization and the
test in the
<br>
proportionality principle as techniques to evaluate
data elements.
<br>
A good and really simple example is a phone number.
IS it
<br>
personal info? (the telcos fought for years, trying
to claim
<br>
they owned it and it was not personal). Obviously it
pertains
<br>
to you, people feel strongly that it is personal
(culturally
<br>
relative of course but...) and yet if noone ever
learns your
<br>
number your phone won't ever receive a call. That
does not
<br>
mean you have to disclose it everywhere.....only where
<br>
necessary. And it should mean that it does not have
to follow
<br>
you everywhere, but that is becoming increasingly hard
to
<br>
manage....
<br>
<br>
By the way, informed consent is not the same as
transparency
<br>
requirements. Transparency requirements are exactly
<br>
that....you have to be transparent about what you are
doing
<br>
with data. Let us not conflate that with consent.
<br>
<br>
I will quit now and stop trying to answer questions.
I would
<br>
like to humbly suggest, however, that we have a real
shortage
<br>
of basic understanding of how data protection law
works and is
<br>
interpreted. If there is a data protection law expert
that
<br>
folks might listen to, we should hire that person to
advise
<br>
us. It might save a lot of time.

As I think I've said more than once in this thread,
I think we _have_
<br>
done that assessment and I think the answers are
obvious and I think
<br>
therefore that there is nothing more to say about
this principle in
<br>
respect of thin data:
<br>
<br>
- the data is either necessary for the operation
of the system
<br>
itself or else necessary for distributed
operation and
<br>
troubleshooting on the Internet.
<br>
<br>
- the data does not expose identifying
information about anyone,
<br>
except in rather strained examples where the
identifying
<br>
information is already completely available
via other means.
<br>
<br>
What more is one supposed to do?
