Hello there,
Welcome to an unusual midweek edition of the RWD Weekly newsletter. You may have heard about the new General Data Protection Regulation ("GDPR"), that comes into effect May 25, 2018. You will have already received several emails about GDPR and asking you to opt into an email list again.
After checking with our legal contacts we have confirmed the following: - When we first collected your email address it was for the express purpose of sending you a weekly newsletter about Responsive Design. These days the newsletter is focussed on building websites using the latest best practices, still Responsive Design but now so much more.
- When you first signed up I made you do an annoying double opt in to reconfirm your email address. This is an extra step for you, but it cuts down on the spam accounts on this list and also means that someone can't sign up to the newsletter on your behalf.
- Every week we include an option for you to unsubscribe, and every so often I will email anyone who hasn't opened an email in a few months and ask if you want to unsubscribe.
With those elements in place it turns out that we're already compliant with GDPR and always have been.
Please feel free to update your settings on unsubscribe altogether using the buttons below, but I hope you stay with us and continue to enjoy the newsletter every Friday.
If you have any questions or concerns about your information or GDPR then please feel free to reply to the email and I'll cover off your questions.
Cheers,
Justin
