All,

first up - thanks for the conference, it was truly inspiring.

I wonder if the list has any thoughts on this - as most with most museums were starting to think about the effect of GDPR and data security, in particular how this relates to UGC projects - particularly oral history projects where personal testimony/data forms an important part of content created. Does anyone know of any guidance offered by the MA or equivalent that outlines an approach that conforms to GDPR - from my understanding compliance needs be structured from the get go - to include:

•         Account sign up (for participants in crowd sourcing/citizen science type projects) needs to be properly structured - so user know explicitly what they are signing up for -

•         Needs to include a method for an individual to have the right to have all material removed from all servers operated by the Museum

•         Needs to include a method for an individual to easily unsubscribe


Not sure how this works in relation to sharing across Museum’s branded commercial social media platforms; which by filling out the T&C’s means you grant the social media platform owners a unlimited licence to leverage your content in any manner they see fit

Just some of the things we've been having this week -

thanks
