EU data privacy laws

Read a random definition: Short cause

A quick definition of EU data privacy laws:

EU data privacy laws are a set of rules and regulations that protect people's personal information in the European Union. These laws are based on the idea that everyone has the right to privacy and respect for their personal data. The laws require companies to get permission before collecting and sharing people's information, and to keep that information safe. There are two main directives that make up these laws: the Data Privacy Directive and the E-Privacy Directive. The EU is currently working on a new set of rules that will make data protection even stronger and more unified across all member states.

A more thorough explanation:

EU data privacy laws are a set of rules and regulations that protect the privacy of individuals in the European Union (EU) regarding their personal data. These laws are based on the fundamental right to privacy and personal data protection, which are enshrined in the EU treaties and charters.

  • Data Privacy Directive: This directive establishes the basic legal framework for data privacy protection in the EU. It requires "opt-in" consent for data sharing and sets an "adequacy requirement" for data-sharing with non-EU companies.
  • E-Privacy Directive: This directive supplements the Data Privacy Directive and provides a minimum standard for EU member state regulation of commercial solicitation by means of email and telecommunications technologies. It requires "opt-in" consent for unsolicited communications and prohibits the sending of commercial emails that disguise or conceal the identity of the sender.
  • General Data Protection Regulation: This regulation unifies the data protection rules within the European Union and requires companies to answer to only one data protection authority. It also gives European citizens the assurance that their consent for the processing of their personal data is always given explicitly.

These examples illustrate how EU data privacy laws protect individuals' personal data and privacy by requiring companies to obtain explicit consent before collecting and sharing personal data and by prohibiting unsolicited communications and deceptive practices.

I have not had a date change either for Mich but I've seen people get in without one so who knows
TheAdoptedOne
9:46
I applied 9/25 to like 6 schools and some (Houston) have no date change yet so dw
soapy
9:46
But do people get in without addresses going long?
WorthlessAttractiveZombie
9:46
it's tough to tell because a lot of people type out their addresses long to begin with
soapy

The "date changes" at Michigan really don't mean anything. We had to do them in undergrad admissions whenever a Georgia applicant picked the country instead of the state, because we'd have to remove the TOEFL requirement and reassign the application from the international application readers.

Classy, does that mean they may look at your application, and that look doesn't necessarily trigger any date change?

@soapy: I don't know for sure about the law school. For undergrad, once the application is complete, it's assigned to a reader the following Monday. If we had to make any changes, it's because a reader saw something that needed to be changed and the application needed to be re-read after that change.

Ahh, got it. Thank you for the insight!

You're welcome. FWIW, I have no idea what's up with the address changes. We didn't have to do any of that, except for the Georgia state vs country kinds of things.

I've heard it theorized that some schools will change the address from "St." --> "Street" as they prepare to send out admissions packets. That's the rumor, anyways.
