Steve,

You have had the option to opt out of the phone directory for as long as I can remember. Do libraries still have paper copies? Don't they send you to a computer terminal? I don't even know if a paper directory is still produced. E-mail addresses are personal information. GDPR is a total mess. "Informed Consent" is only one reason to hold data. Dave

Work email addresses are considered personal info, since they contain the person’s full name and place of employment. So I guess those need to be scrubbed? IANAL

I wonder whether the simple existence of an email address on a site can be considered personal information, especially if not linked somehow to a real name.

Mark I received an unsubscribe today from a UK person who requested me to remove all personal information per the UK GDPR.
Luckily, she unsubscribed prior to any posting. But after removing her from a welcome message I am still stuck with a Past Members' record. Technically, the Past Member Record should be purged. Do you know if it's safe to just leave it or does a change have to be made to the system to handle this. Bob -- Bob Bellizzi

#suggestion Invited Member Export and more advanced display capabilities
#suggestion
Al
I've been trying to see if there's a way to do this, but so far, it doesn't seem that there is.
The "Download" feature on the Member page allows for loading all members in a single text file, which is very handy for cross-referencing with other lists. One problem is that this doesn't include invited members to the group that have not yet accepted an invite. Of course, this is by design, but it would be nice to have a way to export this information as well. This helps to answer the question: is a member either part of this group or has received an invite to it in the past? The best I've been able to do is tweak the URL to show me all of the invited members on a single page, since the default pagination is really annoying (no GUI option to change this), but a text-based format that could be easily parsed would be nice. Additionally, filter capabilities for "Invited Members", similar to those of "Members", would be very helpful. For instance, I usually don't want to see members who have accepted invites on the Invites page, since that just adds noise. A way to show only sent and sent/expired would be helpful. Thanks for the consideration! Al

Re: 14-day expired pending member does not generate a log entry

So to recap, the suggestion is: For non-claimed pending members who expire after 14 days without being approved and get auto-removed from the pending members queue: A. Change the reason text in their record entry in the past member list from "Removed" to "Expired" B. Add an activity log entry which indicates their removal/rejection from the pending queue due the 14-day expiration and not being approved during that time frame. Maybe "Pending member abc@... was automatically rejected/declined due to pending membership time limit expiration, via system" or something along these lines. Part B would necessitate a new category added though, "Expired pending membership", "Pending member expired", or something like that, as the only existing category it could possibly go under would be "Rejected Member" but then it wouldn't quite jive with "Expired" in A above. Cheers,

So that should be changed to "expired."

The expired member is described as "removed" in the past members

And did you say this is currently described in some log as “removed”? I think that should be changed to “expired.” Wasn’t sure whether you were talking hypothetically or factually and I have no examples to check in my group.
