Fair enough but you don’t seem to be open to the idea that you may be wrong.+1!
This is what I’ve been trying to tell the generous and broad minded patrons and moderators here on AAM since my very first post on the issue.
Look, of course I may be wrong. But as it happens, I have a certain expertise in this area (which I haven’t explicitly disclosed, in the interest of debate).Fair enough but you don’t seem to be open to the idea that you may be wrong.
A simple email to the data protection commissioner querying whether or not this is a GDPR issue would easily solve this matter.
Would be interested to see the response
You can quote something bit still completely misinterpret it.I have quoted the law,
Agreed. I have the misfortune of being involved in monthly data protection meetings at work. A GDPR specialist team run them and give us regular tutorials and updates. We spend about 50% of our time dealing with requests/complaints which are in fact misunderstandings and misapplications of the law.You can quote something bit still completely misinterpret it.
Photos of the inside of your house are not personal data.
Hello everyone,
I have purchased a property and the photos and advert are still on the agent's website and Myhome.ie. If I ask for them to be removed (I don't like that anyone can see inside my new home) do they have any grounds to refuse my request?
Thanks in advance!!
Its not just photos of the inside of your house. Its also photos of outside, the front of your house, videos of inside and out. The address will be naturally tagged to these.Photos of the inside of your house are not personal data.
I think you need to listen up in these meetings as you have a very naive view on gdpr.Agreed. I have the misfortune of being involved in monthly data protection meetings at work.

OP, as you are not in the photos and as they are from before you purchased it then (excepting extremely specific and rare circumstances) you have no case.
Ok seeing as you're so hung up on this, can you explain you you have come to the conclusion that either (never mind both) of these points are true? The info is not about you - it is about a house that you bought. How could these photos lead to your identification as you are not in any of these photos? I think you have got fixated on something that really isn't there.if the info is about you and could lead to your identification of itself, or in conjunction with other information
But it is. Thats the point. As is a phone number. Please see below from the data protection website:An address in and of itself is not personal data
Not by itselfBut it is. Thats the point. As is a phone number. Please see below from the data protection website:
. Personal data can cover various types of information, such as name, date of birth, email address, phone number, address, physical characteristics, or location data – once it is clear to whom that information relates, or it is reasonably possible to find out.
I rest my case.
nobody said it was by itselfNot by itself
It’s like saying a date of birth is personal information on its own without a name or anything else to reference it
What specifically in the legislation makes a picture of someone else's contents in a property they didn't own at the time fall under the requirements of the act?Hang on...the pictures of the house may have been taken before you owned the house but now that you own it of course it could be linked back to you. It is personal data under the data commissioners own definition.
Leo,What specifically in the legislation makes a picture of someone else's contents in a property they didn't own at the time fall under the requirements of the act?
Hint, tell me how a subsequent purchaser of the home becomes a data subject as defined, and how MyHome as the alleged data controller in this case asserts a relationship between the subsequent owner and the information they have on file?

But nonetheless, i think we can both agree that your home address is personal data?Personal data can cover etc. etc. An address is only personal data when it identifies an individual. You're reading way too much into one paragraph with qualifying language on the DPC website. That paragraph is not the law and it does not read "an address is always personal data
Your home address is personal data. Combined with other personal data, you can be identified.
Pictures and videos of your home with your personal address tagged to it is an invasion of privacy. Would you like it if pics and vids of inside and outside of your home was on youtube, with your address tagged to it?
No, it is not. Unless it is accompanied by other PII. Photos of the address that have no link to you whatsoever do not render the address personal data. It's really not other people overcomplicating this.But nonetheless, i think we can both agree that your home address is personal data?
