  Dear BrickLink members,

The LEGO Group released the following statement regarding the war in Ukraine.

Our thoughts are with all the children and families suffering as a result of
the war in Ukraine.
Our priority is the safety of all our colleagues. We are in contact with our
Ukrainian team and are providing ongoing support to ensure their safety. We are
also working to support other colleagues around the world impacted by the escalating
crisis including our team in Russia.

We have paused shipments of products to Russia given the extensive disruption
to the operating environment.

We care deeply about the lasting impact on children and together with the LEGO
Foundation and Ole Kirk’s Fond, we will donate DKK 110 million (approx. USD 16.5
million) to emergency relief efforts, with a focus on providing support for children
and families. The donation will be made to existing partners, including the United
Nations Children’s Fund (UNICEF), Save the Children, and the Danish Red Cross.

This is a volatile and constantly evolving situation which we are monitoring
closely.
What does this mean for BrickLink?

The global payment platforms we use on BrickLink are currently not available
in Russia and deliveries to and from the country are severely disrupted. Given
this, buying and selling activities in Russia will be temporarily deactivated.
Members impacted by this will be informed individually.

We are grateful for everyone in our community and never imagined we would face
a situation such as this or witness the heartbreak and devastation we’re seeing
in Ukraine.

Please continue to adhere to our community guidelines and show each other respect
and support.

Thank you for your understanding.
The BrickLink team

I believe in the announcement, it does both. So I need to verify myself, which
can be done without breaking the GDPR laws. But Bricklink will also need to report
the information to the tax authorities, hence it need to store the information.

There is a threshold for DAC-7, so not all sellers are reported towards the tax
authorities. In that case holding the information goes against GDPR guidelines,
as it store's PII data with no clear use case.

I believe the information should only be requested with the sellers once the
threshold is reached and there is a justification for storing the sensitive data.

cases as requesting the needed information, can be seen as a breach of GDPR regulations,
requesting more private information then it needs to do their daily business.

AFAIU, the GDPR forbids keeping the info, not asking for it, especially when
you need the info to obey other laws.

As an example, a shop owner can ask you to prove your identity (ID card, passport…)
when you pay by cheque but the GDPR forbids them to take a photo(copy).


  The link provided ends up at a 404 page.

It’s missing a ‘4’ at the end.

  Voor de NL members hier, dit lees ik op Blz 19 (definities) van de NL versie
van het document naar wordt verwezen door BL.

B. Te rapporteren verkopers

1. “Verkoper”: een gebruiker van een platform, hetzij een natuurlijke persoon,
hetzij een entiteit, die op enig ogenblik tijdens de rapportageperiode op het
platform is geregistreerd en een relevante activiteit verricht.

Dat betekent dat ook private personen gemeld moeten worden door BL. Of lees ik
dat verkeerd?

Verderop:

De rapporterende platformexploitant verzamelt alle volgende inlichtingen voor
elke verkoper die een natuurlijke persoon en geen uitgesloten verkoper is: (en
dan volgt een hele waslijst).


En dit is wat BL moet verstrekken over de verkopers:

e) de totale tegenprestatie die is betaald of gecrediteerd tijdens elk kwartaal
van de rapportageperiode, en het aantal relevante activiteiten waarvoor deze
is betaald of gecrediteerd;
f) alle honoraria, commissielonen of belastingen die door de rapporterende platformexploitant
tijdens elk kwartaal van de rapportageperiode ingehouden of geheven werden.


Feedback welkom

  Dear all,

Thanks for your comments and curiosity around the details of this incident.

On reflection, our statement could have been clearer. In this instance, a member
of the community got in touch with us regarding their research findings. Based
on this, we took all precautionary measures to address the vulnerability they
raised and rolled out a fix in early November.

We appreciate they got in touch, but also want to assure everyone that at no
time was any data at risk.

We’re very serious about the security of Bricklink and will continue to take
all necessary steps to make sure the site and users’ data is safe

OMG, BL needs a good PR person stat, this statement is so full of BS.
