Thanks! Sorry to hear, but we need those tools. We are an EU company and thereby regulated by GDPR, so we are obligated to treat your data very responsibly. You can learn more about the product (without intercom and sentry) on our blog: https://medium.com/amie-ai/amie-use-case-data-driven-winemak... Feel free to get in touch!



Not GP, but this is exactly the reply that I was hoping to hear. The GDPR has done more for human rights for the masses than any other initiative in the past 70 years.


>The GDPR has done more for human rights for the masses than any other initiative in the past 70 years.

Talk about being egocentric. The world has larger parts that don't even have access to Internet.


Internet access shouldn't be a threshold issue when it comes to data privacy rights.

Facebook, for example, likely has a fair amount of personal data about a lot of people who don't have meaningful internet access. Something as simple as their contact information being saved in the phone of someone who uses Facebook mobile is enough for the company to create a "shadow profile" for them. That kind of data collection doesn't benefit the data owner by providing a "free" service in exchange for their information and it occurs entirely without their knowledge or consent. This is exactly the kind of privacy violation GDPR seeks to curtail and I think the benefits can and do extend to the global masses more than most people realize.


And also forced many websites to open with a popup 'Do you want to accept cookies?'. To the uninformed, could be a very mysterious message.


Cookie warnings are not GDPR but previous legislation.


I think the Rust Code of Conduct might beat GDPR

> ...Black people couldn't vote in the US 70 years ago.

Black people have been guaranteed equal voting rights in theory since the 15th amendment was ratified in 1870, which was 148 years ago. (And free black citizens existed and could vote in parts of the USA before that.)

Black people since then have faced practical barriers to equal voting in many parts of the country, continuing to the present day.


I'd say marriage equality goes deeper than GDPR.


Agreed!


I found it hard to figure out where this could fit in my job as a researcher. I mean even a potential use case. I was ready to give up, but since you are EU based I'll try harder now.


It's not you, it's Intercom and Sentry that they don't trust.
