2023-10-25 19:12:52.595193+02 by Dan Lyke 0 comments

Terence Eden's blog: EBCDIC is incompatible with GDPR. Bank customer complained that their name wasn't being spelled with the appropriate diacritical/accent marks. GDPR says that "The data subject shall have the right to obtain from the controller without undue delay the rectification of inaccurate personal data concerning him or her."

Bank says "we can't, because EBCDIC technology stack". The Court of Appeal of Brussels says "tough".
