I know I have.

My email inbox has been visited on a daily basis with emails talking about updated privacy policies and consent to continue receiving emails.

I’ve also contributed to that flood of emails as I work on GDPR compliance for a non-profit organization.

On the whole, I think it’s a good thing. It’s also something that product people need to be aware of.

Long story short: we use your personal data to provide you just in time resources about product ownership and we don’t share your data with anyone unless we need to in order to share just in time resources about product ownership.

I certainly couldn’t be left out of the fun!
