      @taschenorakel @kuketzblog

      My gut feeling is that anything, which is collected from my side, whether PII or not, protected or not, should only take place after I get a message on first run, asking me if it’s okay to collect usage data. Including a brief list of what data is collected, whether it’s anonimized, pseudomized, etc and allow me to say “no”.

      Anything collected before I have any chance of opt-in or opt-out to me sounds like “we proactively have already started collecting data. If you don’t want this to go on, you can switch it off in settings” and leaves a smell of privacy pooh on my desktop.

      In other words: It’s a dishonest behaviour to me if I am NOT aware of things going on before things start to happen.

        @schroedingershund @kuketzblog I absolutely dislike the concept of blaming entities by gut feeling even if they behave entirely legal.

        They key for reliable privacy laws is general acceptance. It’s of absolutely no value to have strict laws if nobody obeys them.

        The GDPR and the ammending TDDDG do pretty well in balancing interests, and we don’t do privacy activism or IT security a favor if we deny operators legitimate interest out of gut feeling.

          @taschenorakel @schroedingershund Whether a usage measurement/marketing campaign takes place anonymously, pseudonymously or with personal data is irrelevant from the perspective of the TDDDG. The decisive factor is whether information is stored on the end device (e.g. cookies) or whether information is read from the end device. Both are subject to consent in accordance with Section 25 (1) TDDDG, unless ‘technically necessary’.
