Folks,
Some of you may know what GDPR is, what is means for consumers and what it means for websites and companies. This new EU law comes into effect on the 25th May 2018.
In a nutshell:
The only two points which Land Cruiser Club currently does differently is point one and point four.
When you sign up you automatically get included in the Latest Posts emails which go out on a Saturday.
As of the 25th of May, new signups will not be automatically opted-in.
and
We do not delete inactive members' details. As of the 25th of May I will auto-delete members who have not logged in for a period of four years. This will be irreversible. Content that you posted will remain intact though as it forms a functional part of the website.
Consent:
By continuing to login to this website it's assumed that you've given consent to receive the current non-contact emails you currently do (currently limited to Weekly Digest). You can unsubscribe to this in the link in the footer.
Data removal:
As has always been the case, feel free to email me and request your account be deleted. At this point we will pseudonymise your personal details and render your account, along with it's personal details useless.
Your content remains intact and available for public display.
There is a whole raft of other stuff involved for companies (I have a team of 35 doing only GDPR related work at work) but for this website, it is quite a bit simpler.
If you have any questions feel free to reply or to email me directly.

In a nutshell:
- Consumers have to opt-in to marketing or "non-contract" emails.
- Consumers should be able to easily opt-out of non-contract emails.
- Companies should not communicate to customers outside of what has been agreed.
- Companies should not retain personal information longer than is needed.
- Consumers should be able to request all information held by a company and
- Consumers should be able to request to have their data deleted.
