Dear Sulev-Madis, all,
We amended the terms and conditions in line with applicable legal GDPR requirements and intellectual property law.
Under GDPR, personal data cannot be processed without a legal basis, which in the case of RIPE Atlas, would be the individual’s consent. Also, a trade name may not be used without permission from its legitimate owner.
To clarify, if consent or permission is granted, RIPE Atlas probe hosts may use personal data or trade names. Regions and cities that do not reveal the identification of individuals are also not personal data and can be used.
Best regards,
Karolina Bochenek
