The GDPR was implemented last May across the European Union to provide citizens with better protection of personal data on the Internet. For example, anyone can request access to their personal information and then demand modifications or deletion of it within 30 days. Arthur Blanchon and Antoine Vadot decided to put the GDPR to the test in practice.
By contacting more than 400,000 sites to ask them if they held data associated with their email address, the objective was to illustrate the journey strewn with pitfalls that the French face. Only 1% of sites Buy Bulk SMS Service contacted responded to requests within 30 days. 83% of people contacted were unable to respond , while 16% still had an invalid email address 6 months after the implementation of the GDPR.
For Arthur Blanchon, co-founder of Freebip: “It was by carrying out the test with around a hundred French companies that we realized the difficulties in obtaining information. We then embarked on this large-scale study which perfectly illustrates the work to be carried out to obtain the transparency necessary to protect the privacy of citizens. »
