You are right that it is possible to immediately discard or obfuscate the information. But, as Nicolas pointed out, the argument here is that the UUID itself likely needs to be considered "personal data" in the GDPR sense. And even doing something as minimal as that seems to imply "processing"[1] the data in the GDPR sense. Benjamin [1] The definition of "processing" reads: """ ‘processing’ means any operation or set of operations which is performed on personal data or on sets of personal data, whether or not by automated means, such as collection, recording, organisation, structuring, storage, adaptation or alteration, retrieval, consultation, use, disclosure by transmission, dissemination or otherwise making available, alignment or combination, restriction, erasure or destruction; """ _______________________________________________ devel mailing list -- devel@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe send an email to devel-le...@lists.fedoraproject.org Fedora Code of Conduct: https://getfedora.org/code-of-conduct.html List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/devel@lists.fedoraproject.org
