No, I'm trying to focus on what is explicitly covered in the legislation, and what others think might be or should be.You, and a few others in this thread, are over complicating this.
Your home address can become personal data when the data controller maintains an association between that address and you. The legislation is clear on that, but addresses are a matter of public record, in and of themselves they are not covered in the legislation.Your home address is personal data. Combined with other personal data, you can be identified.
As also stated earlier, property ownership in Ireland is also a matter of public record. The government will on request (and subject to a fee) provide you with the details of the owner of any property in the state. How clear does it need to be that this information is not subject to GDPR?
Again, can you clarify how MyHome becomes a data controller in relation to the purchaser of a property under the terms of the legislation?
Pictures and videos of my current and former homes are online, I don't have an issue with that. When selling my previous home I signed a contract allowing the EAs to publish photos via MyHome and Daft. Those photos were and continue to be my property, as published they do not reveal my or the other owner's identities. Neither of those entities ever had access to my name, and so they did not become data controllers as defined in law.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?
