in thread Something changed the creation time/date of all my posts?

While it technically doesn't identify a person, the GDPR considers IP addresses personally identifiable, and I imagine PerlMonks does log IP addresses. It could potentially apply to these. (Specifically, I'm not going to try to interpret if it falls in a criteria listed under "When does the right to erasure apply?")

    There are some legal obligations to log IP addresses.

    GDPR is more about "forgetting" private data related to marketing or "shared with" other companies.

    None of these is the case here.

    update

    To be more explicit:

    • I won't get hotel and flight offers into my mailbox after /msging another monk about meeting in Riga.
    • No headhunter will call me after reaching sainthood.
    • Other websites won't suddenly start to show me ads about IT books because I created an account here.

      I was very disappointed at the lack of headhunters calling me when I reached sainthood. Can we fix that? :D

        My head hunting uncle in Nigeria recently died and we have an awesome offer for you.
