But, particularly when it comes to sensitive company data, a nagging question remains – is the underlying data actually secure, or have these providers simply reassigned responsibility to ensure they’re protected from legal action? One thing is certain – cloud providers such as Google, Microsoft and Dropbox have taken privacy and security measures to ensure they can continue to offer their services in Europe by remaining GDPR compliant.
Is your personal data now finally safe from hackers? Can data services from big players such as Microsoft and Google now be used without hesitation? Their updated data protection policies (which, let’s face it, nobody has really read) certainly give that impression, but is it true? Now that all the initial excitement around GDPR has died down, you might find yourself wondering whether the underlying issues have actually been solved. And all those providers were éarnestly assuring you of the same thing – that they were 100% fully GDPR-compliant.
Like most people, you were probably hit with a flood of GDPR-related emails just before the 25th of May, 2018 from pretty much every product or service you’d ever personally or professionally engaged with. If I receive an email with a security code and I haven't tried to sign in at all recently, wouldn't it always mean someone else is attempting to sign in to my account? Furthermore, because the code is only sent if you type the correct email and password, wouldn't it mean that this person has my Dropbox account password? I'd think that would always be cause for alarm, even if they weren't actually able to get into the account.Does GDPR compliance really mean your data is sufficiently protected? You can safely ignore this email." Neither the email nor that help page elaborate on why it's safe to ignore the email, though. They are identical except that one of them includes a link for "I didn't try to sign in," presumably to secure the user's account via resetting one's password and such, while the other simply says "If you didn't try to sign in, don't worry. According to there are two versions of the "one time sign-in code" email.
