New European GDPR regulations imposes strict requirements on the way businesses collect, store and manage personal data.

Posted by: Prophecy on May 09, 23:30 in response to thomasisnewhere's post Why is HSX blocked in the UK?

I thought it was mainly for big banks, social media and other entities like that but it seems to be affecting EVERY digital service that saves customer data. In this case, your portfolio for example.

I found out that there are teams of cowboy lawyers in Germany already trying to sue ANY website big or small that doesn't comply.

It's sorely needed in some cases (the data you bank has on you) but it now appears to be very poorly thought out in implementation.

Thanks for the info. Looks like it has been 6 years in the making. Hope other websites are ahead of this. {nm} thomasisnewhere May 09, 23:42

What a f***ing pain. I use this site every day and now I'm not allowed access??? At least my VPN works :P {nm} numbersix_99 May 10, 00:10

Anti, any ideas on when this might be accessible in the UK again? {nm} numbersix_99 May 10, 04:06

Unfortunately I don't at the moment. This came down from way above. Antibody May 10, 10:01

I hear ya, man. Fingers crossed you can sort it all out {nm} numbersix_99 May 10, 12:06

Anitbody - The only information kept within one's profile is their email address. The_1250_Man May 10, 12:14

I believe the group name for cautions is a "paranoia", not "overabundance'. :) {nm} DTravel May 10, 16:09

Ok, I can understand this for the UK, also UK is in the process of BREXIT so EU shouldnt apply. But I'm AU and getting blocked {nm} The_1250_Man May 10, 12:03

I think HSX need to check their blocking of IP ranges better, I fall under APNIC and are clearly AU, Luckily I do have VPN service I can use {nm} The_1250_Man May 10, 12:07

HSX should now to accessible to APNIC including Australia. {nm} Antibody May 10, 14:13

Thank you {nm} Karl_S May 10, 18:24

Got the same message in Brazil early this morning, but I'm back online now. FabioParme May 10, 19:20

GDPR has been adopted by the UK, so will apply Post-Brexit (just to clear that up) {nm} Shirtavius May 11, 07:16

another UK user here. Would love for HSX to be able to find a solution. Also, might be good to put out info on twitter? {nm} russ1 May 10, 09:17

There's no reason to block viewing the forums page that doesn't even require login. HSX just doesnt want to implement the changes properly. Shriker May 10, 12:40

Still out in the UK. I'm using a temporary VPN. {nm} ladybegood May 11, 11:40
