I did, although I'm not expecting any useful response there either...

In case you hadn't seen it yet, this move by gog spawned the following wishlist entry:
Set all privacy-related options to most secure by default. As private by default is a GDPR requirement, I just don't know what gog is thinking... :/

There's also:
Disable "view profile" function for customers who care for their privacy! (this one has now actually been implemented; the original implementation didn't even have the ability to disable profiles completely).

I agree.
The profiles as such are nicely done.
It's only the "privacy-leaking" aspect, that I abhor absolutely.
The profiles should've never been allowed to see the light of day under these conditions.

Edit: btw - I haven't received an official email from GOG about the existence of my profile, yet - I got only aware of it through the "pre-announcement-thread" by elcook and the threads regarding the breach of privacy.

Oh yeah, I have absolutely no problem with the profile feature itself. I don't care for it, but I also don't object to it. It's just the crude and disgusting lack of regard for privacy and regulations like GDPR that I have a problem with.

Here's to hoping that the GDPR will be able to accomplish what it was created to do.

How has this been fixed?

The new option to disable your profile keeps you off friends' friend lists too. Not an ideal solution, but it gives you a way to avoid the leak.

We were told to send comments to their privacy@ email address.

They don;t respond to their legal@ email address.

Uh oh. Still not fixed? I heard it had been but haven't checked.

Gotcha.

Thanks for the link! :-)

It's actually another case of several of us longtimers and newer members getting upset because our info is being mishandled again and others crying "What's the big deal?"

I used to want full transparency on the web because of all the idiots I dealt with, and wanting them to have repercussions for their actions, but now it scares me because most of the web is more mentally ill than me.

It's kind of like people who post their daily schedules on social media and then are surprised when they're the victim of a home invasion, and even further surprised if they're in certain states here in the US, when they get sued for defending themselves against crooked bastards trying to take their stuff.

You either step up for your privacy now, or shut up when no one has privacy in another 5-10 years.
