How can I opt out of chess dot come gathering and using data they have collected?

That site has apparently more privacy than us. 

I mean I like privacy, but your IP is basically gonna be open everywhere, it's kind of stupid. They should have issued a free VPN and spent money towards having a really speedy service there for free. I don't think any politicians have any idea how networks work.

People use their birthdays as their passwords,  post everything they do publicly on social media, and scream for privacy, security and protection.  The single  point of failure most likely lies between their chair and their keyboard.

yeah but it keeps Google and Chess.com from having it.
PEBSAK is a very common problem, Max, yes.

This has already been addressed and FAILS on two accounts, the law has changed since I signed up and chess dot com needs to provide consent for collecting data which they have not done since that change.  I will not repeat it a third time. Furthermore the consent needs to be explicit and secondly it needs to be a legitimate option.  If you can cite where this option is, please let me know.

This is demonstrably false, please read the terms of service and the privacy agreement and you will readily discern that chess dot com does gather and store personal data as do the third party vendors that are facilitated when you log on to chess dot com.  This requires a Europeans explicit consent.

i think its cool that you are protecting cc from any possible violation of net data privacy robbie ,by bringing this to their attention , this is a great website and im all for them never falling to a legality , so im hoping right now they have their legal team looking at any possible problems , and this may well be down to you alerting them to the issue , your a good un robbie and you arte doing cc a great service cheers from a fellow ccer

Bye!

Why GDPR matters? Imagine that everywhere you went a complete stranger was stalking and recording your movements, where you went, what you looked at, what you said, what articles you read, what your favourite places to visit are etc They then stored that information in a detailed profile and sold it to another complete stranger?  That’s essentially why GDPR is needed.  While you might want to be stalked and targeted in a specific way, perhaps like most sane people you don't.

gee that's original! send us a postcard when you get there. What is it with these dull and unimaginative trolls telling us they are leaving?  Weird.

Sure its not a dig at chess dot com but like most websites I think they were totally unprepared and after taking legal advice simply slipped a few provisos into their terms of service in the hope that it might cover them.

whut? is that an attempt at humour? sigh. . . we live in desperate times.

It is a hack job I think, were you given an notification asking your consent Postafi?

hehe

did this just die? 23 hours ago!

or does it only get posts after 5 EW time (or should i say EU time )

 No one really cares, it doesn't affect Americans because its primarily a European directive (although I understand there may be laws at State level which restricts what can and cannot be recorded, stored and used), the few lamebo trolls who were too intellectually lazy to read and understand what was being discussed have all been blocked and there are no test cases as such.  Its exactly as Postafi mentioned, chess dot com simply amended the terms of service (after taking legal advice) and are 'whistling in the dark', waiting for the outcome of some of the huge internet companies who were immediately taken to court for alleged failure to live up to to GDPR. 

You must ascertain consent, this is paramount (Bobbys attempts to defend chess dot com failed because the terms of service have changed as has the law) and one of the interesting aspects being tested is that you cannot deny service (unless the recording of data is absolutely essential to the running of a site) if someone decides to opt out or restrict the type and scope of data the idea being that its not a real choice otherwise.

GDPR will shut down the internet (later) be cause you can't say yes to something, if you can't say yes to getting the yes box will out using snail mail. Or, because the government can now tell you what to do with the internet. they will.

how ever, the SAs will not have a nuff funding to kill off all of the E-COs. until that happens: Eat, drink, and be merry (or what ever the internet version is)

I've received this one:

"We notice you are using a book put on the right side of your screen to cover ads while playing live. Please consider to stop being an idiot. Thanks!"

Its actually only really going to affect those companies that provide use of a service tied in with advertising like Spybook and Google_Spy_Services because what is being argued is that targeted advertising is unnecessary for the functioning of these sites and therefore separate consent needs to be ascertained to store and exploit personal data. What Spybook and other nefarious websites have done is to tie consent in with the general terms and conditions thus forcing people to accept having their personal data stored and exploited for advertising purposes, which is not a choice and is not freely given.  Spybook and Google_Spy_Services are using their muscle to resist it with a take it or leave it approach.  Only by handing our hefty fines will reality be allowed to make inroads but even then because of the sheer money involved they can buy influence.
