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

[Nicholas Collison]

Lisa is absolutely correct and it is to do with GDPR and the new privacy law that came into affect May 25th.

Unless you have users who are within Europe this should not be an issue. 

Publishers who provide international access have to comply with European law and should have issued there own GFPR statement

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

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.
