[iaoa-infrastructure] new European regulations on data privacy

[Ken Baclawski]

I looked at the regulations, and we do have personal data in our database
so the regulations apply.  However, it appears that the previous
regulations also applied.  The new regulations appear to be mostly
concerned with ensuring that the regulations (and penalties for
noncomplience) of all of the EU member states are consistent with one
another than with adding anything new for a small organization like the
IAOA.  However, it did make me wonder why we are collecting all of this
personal data.  What is it used for?

Best regards,
