I am a Group Manager for an online discussion group for a very rare form of cancer (Waldenstrom's macroglobulinemia).? Our membership thus far is over 2,100 persons (most just provide their email address when they subscribe), from around the world.? I know that Groups.io updated their cookie policy to comply with GDPR.
A good number of our members continue to use their own email client to send and receive postings, however, and don't interact with groups.io much.? In that fashion their email address is visible when they send a message.? Any personal data that they share is done by them knowing that they are doing so willingly.? (I do not use any data for analysis or collect any data thereof.)
Are any measures required from a group owner perspective, or should it just be business as usual?? Have any other group members done anything yet to ensure that their group is compliant with GDPR?? What steps have you taken?
Any help/advice would be much appreciated!
