Actually they do. You get a lot more control over your privacy even if you life in the US.

This is the second time in 24 hours that someone guessed it wrong.

I am an EU citizen.

Do I write in English that good despite it not being my native language?

We never said that you lived in the US. Additionally, the quality of your English has nothing to do with it - the US isn't the only country to have English as its official language, and I know plenty of people in the US who speak poor English.

According to the GDPR, IP Address is considered personal Data.
System path? well, Windows system path is always in C:/Windows/System, so... not so much, but the user data path can include your name, and I don't know about other operating systems.
Either way, it's a step forward.

windows system path is relative and refers to %windir%\system32 and by default goes to c:\windows\system32 but while installing windows you can choose a different partition ie when you're multibooting different (windows) operating systems. When bad programmers hardcode paths like these, you're in a world of trouble to get it fixed

[ratchetfreak]

Or the "system path" is really the installation directory, this is often the steam library which is itself somewhere in C:\users\accountName\ or it's in another directory in there when manually unpacked.

[Twinsen]

What I meant by system data path was the user data directory, that is typically "c:\Users\<user>\AppData\Roaming\". I removed it to calm down all the people who think the windows username is a breach of privacy.

[luc]

Thanks for removing it! I typically removed mine from logs whenever i post them. If you have multiple online identities that you want to keep separate... this is something that makes it easy to link them. The vast majority of internet users won't ever post any sort of log online, so unless your username is "user", it's probably fairly unique.

[ChurchOrganist]

So are trains completely back to normal now??

[youdoomt]

I removed it to calm down all the people who think the windows username is a breach of privacy.

More than that, keeping it would/could be against the GDPR laws, because the <user> part, could potentially be personal information, and gathering it via a pre-checked option would then be illegal.

I've spent 1.5 hours of work time on a on A "E-Learning" course, and I can say, working with things that have just the slightest personal information incorporated,it requires a decent amount of thought and time.

If this is the directory you meant, then it does make sense that you removed it for the 25th may 2018 GDPR Compliance.

[Twinsen]

The extent to which the windows username is personally identifiable data depends strongly on how you interpret the law text. Just because it could be your real name, religion, gender does not mean it is. You can't rename your CPU to your street address and then sue us.

[blackris69]

I thought that was very funny Twinsen.
