minus-square9bananas@feddit.orglinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up1·11 hours agoso you think that an automated account like, say “no-reply@amazon.com”, is somehow personal data? you forget that emails are constantly used by automated systems. those are, obviously, not personal data, because they can’t identify a person. and that’s just the first example that comes to mind. this is exactly why the answer to the question “do emails fall under the GDPR?” is “it depends.” “karl.mars@selfhosted.net” <– most likely IS personal data. “helpdesk@company.com” <– almost certainly NOT personal data. “email” as a concept does not automatically make it personal data. it is only personal data, if it is connected to data that can reasonably be used to identify a natural person. is the entire concept of nuance just lost on you?? some email addresses are personal data, other are not. IT DEPENDS ON THE CONTEXT!! this is the difference between a professional and a layman: a layman doesn’t even know, how much they don’t know.

“helpdesk@company.com” <– almost certainly NOT personal data.
“email” as a concept does not automatically make it personal data.
it is only personal data, if it is connected to data that can reasonably be used to identify a natural person.

No. I don’t know why you would believe that.
