--- Comment #14 from Rainer Klute <rainer.kl...@gmx.de> --- (In reply to 2wxsy58236r3 from comment #13) > I think many people use annotation tool to indicate the parts which should > be edited in the source file. So an identifier (not necessarily the real > name) and timestamp are useful, so that the person in charge knows who left > the comment and when the comment was made. This is a valid scenario and there are certainly use cases for author names and timestamps, so the option to maintain these fields must be there. I don’t question that. > But in the case of PDF annotation, can you please explain your situation in > more detail? Thank you very much! You are asking me to explain my particular situation and elaborate why I need more privacy. However, the data protection mindset is just the other way round: You should never have to justify why you want privacy. It is a fundamental right. Instead you should have to justify why privacy should be compromised, here: why timestamps must be maintained and to which granularity, i. e., the date might by sufficient without going down to hours and minutes. Having said that, I simply do not want to reveal to my colleagues, to my boss, to the other department, to our customers, or even to the world when I did the annotations. If I want to do so, fine, but I would like to have a choice! -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
