Web: GDPR -- Ask for re opt-in from all EU customers

Created on 23 May 2018 · 12Comments · Source: gitcoinco/web

From Consensys Legal:

B. Ask for re-permission from existing contacts. Based on our discussion with the marketing team, the best practice is to ask for re-permission (opt-in) from contacts already saved in your MailChimp email list. MailChimp provides template language to help simplify the process of sending out a request to existing contacts asking them to actively consent (opt-in) to receiving future emails in a manner that is compliant with GDPR. Please note that the re-permission request would only need to go out to users whose information was collected from the EU (to the extent you are aware of this information).

@mbeacom do we have any way of knowing which users are from the EU easily?

ideally i'd want a profile.is_EU() that i could call from a mgmt command

I don't think it matters if someone is from the EU because GDPR applies to everyone even passing through the EU. From what I understand, best practices are just to assume everyone is EU

Hmm I may have read an overly cautious report then

@owocki We should be able to use the geoip data. Looking into this now.
