| The EU pushes heavily for consent for tracking, yet you need to track your users locations to keep your trademark, thus requiring that every company has to have a popup asking to track that data. |

| IANAL, but.... you only need consent if it isn't required for your business to function. If you need to track to maintain your trademark, couldn't you argue any business with a trademark needs to track users? I'm sure it wouldn't work in a real court, but it sounds funny in my head. |

| ▲ | layer8 6 days ago | parent | next [-] | | You are required to inform the affected users, however. | |
| ▲ | aforwardslash 6 days ago | parent | prev [-] | | Legitimate interest of the user, not yours. Rule of thumb, if its not a legal requirement, you need consent. | | |
| ▲ | d1sxeyes 6 days ago | parent [-] | | That’s not true. From the law as written: > legitimate interests pursued by the controller or by a third party… There are six lawful bases for processing, consent is only one of them. | | |

| Most trademark holders have much more solid ways of demonstrating their mark's use in commerce, like financial and business records. |

| ▲ | marcjschmidt 6 days ago | parent [-] | | Right, but I think this case is interesting for the developer community as it targets specifically open-source use-cases, where you usually have neither extensive user per-country data, nor would you usually care about tracking, or have commercial offerings. This essentially means that you either cannot protect your open-source project name or have always to keep in mind to collect user per-country data, otherwise you risk getting deleted. | | |

| ▲ | daedrdev 6 days ago | parent [-] | | I mean isn't storing location still requiring you to inform your users? It's not just IP that Europe's privacy regulations care about right? |

| You don't need that. You can provide billing addresses of your customers without tracking web access. |
