    So, what you are telling me, is that you are an IT professional working in Europe, and in your considered opinion, emails don’t fall under GDPR if you don’t provide your phone number or something. And that totally doesn’t sound like a joke. Is that about right?

      so you think that an automated account like, say “[email protected]”, is somehow personal data?

      you forget that emails are constantly used by automated systems. those are, obviously, not personal data, because they can’t identify a person.

      and that’s just the first example that comes to mind.

      this is exactly why the answer to the question “do emails fall under the GDPR?” is “it depends.”

      [email protected]” <– most likely IS personal data.

      [email protected]” <– almost certainly NOT personal data.

      “email” as a concept does not automatically make it personal data.

      it is only personal data, if it is connected to data that can reasonably be used to identify a natural person.

      is the entire concept of nuance just lost on you??

      some email addresses are personal data, other are not.

      IT DEPENDS ON THE CONTEXT!!

      this is the difference between a professional and a layman: a layman doesn’t even know, how much they don’t know.

          why WOULD you believe that??

          what natural person is identifiable by an automated message?

          explain that.

            Instead of being silly, why don’t you just correct your disinformation and be done with it? Why these games?
