MatthewL Posted January 4, 2018 Posted January 4, 2018 If you provide guest wifi in a cafe, pub, school, office, where ever it maybe, do you have to record anything from a user point of view? Most are open and a captivate portal but some businesses just open up the wifi or give the password out but what are their obligations to cover their back? Obviously filtering is a big thing, with it been open anyone can have access to things they shouldn't. Just curious as I'm not up on regs like that. 1
timbo343 Posted January 4, 2018 Posted January 4, 2018 Yeah you have to state that you log IP address, web traffic etc and how long you log it all for. Here's smoothwall's GDPR video which might help in terms of filtering and GDPR... 1
MatthewL Posted January 4, 2018 Author Posted January 4, 2018 I'll have a gander. Wasn't thinking GDPR more prior to that I had seen things but might have a situation where need to ensure someone is compliant in this field if that makes sense.
timbo343 Posted January 4, 2018 Posted January 4, 2018 (edited) @CJF might be able to explain a bit more as he presented on the video but i would say that anyone offering wifi would need to declare what they are capturing from clients. I may need to update those companies thay i support. Have a look at this link https://www.itgovernance.eu/blog/en/how-the-gdpr-will-affect-wi-fi-providers/. I had heard using social logins to login to wifi points is actually better. Also look at https://purple.ai/purple-gdpr-compliant-wifi-provider/.i googled "public Wifi GDPR" that appeared.
