Just in time for them to take physical discs away! Edit: This is only in EU! For now.

    Companies need to justify why they are retaining personal information

    And the justification is “this person holds a perpetual software license with us and we need to be able to grant them access unless they tell us otherwise”. Case closed.

      Do they?

      Please prove that every single PSN account has digital software purchases on it. EVERY single one.

      If you fail, you’re liable for GDPR and are holding customer data past its use!

        BS. You only have to prove it for the individual account. They obviously don’t have to delete my data because you have no software purchases on your account.

        I’ve honestly had it with all the anti GDPR fearmongering and propaganda. It’s not some eldritch horror that will eat your company if it notices you. It’s a powerful and at the same time pretty reasonable customer protection tool. As long as companies don’t take more data than they need to do the business the customer actually came to them for and make sure only people who need to work with the data can acces it they are in the clear 100% of the time.
