[Eril-l] ProQuest Admin: required use of personal information

[Hinchliffe, Lisa W]

I am seeing this increasingly across platforms. I believe it is to comply with GDPR, which is mandatory for EU but being implemented globally. I welcome this as all of our platforms have been collecting PII for years but without notification to users. This is an important step forward for transparency but disappointing in some of the aspects of how the vendors are implementing it.  Increasingly, to do our jobs (professionally), we are being obligated to disclose our personal data. There has been a fair bit of discussion about protecting patron privacy but almost none about worker privacy. Lisa

Subject: [Eril-l] ProQuest Admin: required use of personal information

Hello e-resources folks,

Have any of you encountered the pop up on the ProQuest admin site requiring consent to use personally identifiable information? If so, do you know why they are requiring this and what kind of information they are gathering? I have not seen this kind of notice on any of our other admin platforms and it struck me as odd.
