Re: Don't store personal data

@AC I agree with most of the points in you two posts. But I did not say no details had to be stored hence the last line of my post "Surely all that is needed is needed to be stored is enough user details for billing and usage details, amount of usage but not who they connected to."

I feel that covered your first two points on account and billing.

I had not thought of :-

- personal email address (i.e. for conference invites etc)

- in some cases the actual audio content of conference where audio-to-text-transcoding is offered as (an optional) part of the service

excellent points +1.

But TCP/IP does not have to be stored and if it counts as processing just to making a connection then how can any company outside the EU comply with GDPR if a connection has to made to a server or another user be that video conferencing, messaging or even something like Adobe subscription PhotoShop? Surely in the case of TCP/IP as long as it is not stored it can't break GDPR.
