Your server is prepared for GDPR?

[Sam Han]

Friends, you are preparing for GDPR (
General Data Protection Regulation)
or its variants from each country ??

many owners of MuOnline servers think that the internet has been an unowned area since the ancient days of mu such as 2003.
everything has changed and with various regulations and security responsibilities, it is always easier for you to be notified for something wrong.

how are you worrying about GDPR? Think about the question that your site / server can be banned from a dedicated server like OVH for breaking rules?

Not only to be banned but how to respond criminally?

What is your opinion??

If you are running a MU private server then you are running a service that already breaks Webzen intelectual property. If someone would like to take you down he doesn't need GDPR compliance to do so.

The GDPR only applies to organizations engaged in “professional or commercial activity.”

If your server doesn't process data(which is not the case, cause the players are already using a username in order to connect and that username is stored into a DB), you can be exempt from GDPR.

Main purpose of GDPR is to protect EU citizens and EU Internet users personal information inside and outside the EU space. I don't think in Asia there's such thing. I'm not aware of anything like this.

If your Mu server isn't an registered organization or entity, then you are exempt from GDPR, but, you are illegally running that server anyway(which 100% of private servers are illegal) and illegally storing usernames, IPs and any user related data into the Mu database.

If you are an entity who does notify users that they have to sign a form and accept the terms and agreements between parties(user and entity), that's alright.

If you aren't an entity and you still notify the users that your are collecting data, as such usernames and passwords and everything related to the user and storing them into the Mu database, you still aren't exempt from GDPR.

Example of case: If some 3rd party entity is getting your DB or you are selling it on purpose, you will still have to notify the user that you are selling the data for further usage on marketing or statistics, here, you need to notify the user and he needs to accept the terms and agreements that their data will be used by a 3rd party and in order to play on your server, they have to agree with your terms and agreements regarding their personal information.

You would probably not manage sensitive data in a MuOnline server . You just need to allow deleting accounts.

If you are running a MU private server then you are running a service that already breaks Webzen intelectual property. If someone would like to take you down he doesn't need GDPR compliance to do so.

lol, yea. also this.
