oops, crossed posts

They are all complete idiots as far as GDPR is concerned

BFF has now harvested over 90 names and email addresses through her ‘giveaway’
Did she seek permission to contact them for marketing purposes after the ‘giveaway’? How long will she store these personal details, and where?

So Yawn is about to coach 1-2k people on her "really amaaazing information packs that are packs of information" (you don't say!)

FFS if people can't work out how to put leaflets in a plastic folder then we're all doomed.

I am sure the all have their ICO registrations renewed each year. A robust GDPR policy in place with a suitable record of keeping. Plus ensure all clients opt in to marketing. I’m addition to this they have a robust process in place of someone were to request a SAR.

Can you imagine the panic in the eyes of these entrepreneurs if someone did ask for these records?

Also, how are they exempt from GDPR?

VolcanicEruption · 07/12/2021 21:14

Yawn had apparently 50 lip balms now down to 30. Imaginary friends again. Also having a bad hair day (insta)and Xmas card boring.

JaniceBattersby · 08/12/2021 00:16

What the fuck is Yawn on about? Aloe lips isn’t a cure for eczema, or good for burns and I certainly wouldn’t let my breastfeeding baby ingest it. Surely they’re a load of illegal health claims?

PieonaBarm · 08/12/2021 02:14

You've missed out rubbing it on your piles. You'd definitely need one for that on its own I think....

Plus Yawn is struggling to count, she's only listed 20 uses, not 21

Spongebobette · 08/12/2021 10:43

@fromdownwest Oh but they wouldn’t panic, they’d just stare blankly as they have no bloody idea

Just proves they all blindly copy. Uber posted a couple of days ago that she'd been challenged to sell 50 (by who??? Isn't she pretty much top bot?) And had the same "21 tips" but only 20 in the list. I've seen the list in a couple of places now and none of them have picked up on 20/21

The two top Arbonne bots have now got their new designer baby as their downline surrogate has given birth and handed him over. Now she's gone straight back to flogging the Arbonne dream. I wonder whether, at some point, she's going to clock that she gave them the baby AND all her money...

As MLM bots talk out of their arses just one lip balm will cover all areas. Speaking of which, has Yawn tried it out on her Thatch as a mushroom repellent?
LucySullivanIsGettingMarried · 08/12/2021 20:59

@grumpytoddler1 I follow them on Instagram too and was thinking the same thing!

JohnStonesMissus · 09/12/2021 14:28

Haha oh dear....bloodsucker has put a shout out on FB about joining her team, the comments are encouraging to read, no one is falling for it!

What was said? I can't see the post
JohnStonesMissus · 09/12/2021 15:06

They're saying it's a scam don't get involved, blah blah, I can't find it now so bloodsucker must have removed it toot sweet!

FranceTeam · 09/12/2021 17:11

@terrywynne, perhaps only having 20 in the list was a deliberate error, and they could see who copied them?

fromdownwest · 09/12/2021 17:13

Loads of the Self Employed Business owners appear to have been challenged to sll 50 lip balms.

Who would challenge them, if they own their own businesses?

Weird....unless
