Hi I'm one of the developers of SafeKodi.
Thanks for the comment. It is a reasonable concern for the GDPR regulation. So I'd like to clarify that we're not violating it.
The research occupies a privileged position within the GDPR regulation (Article 6(4); Recital 50. Artical 6(1)(f); Recitals 47, 157. Artical 49(h); Recital 113). The data collection here only serves to provide more comprehensive addon tagging service and academic purposes. And we're following Northwestern University's requirement of conduct of research to implement appropriate safeguards to the data and anonymization. Therefore, SafeKodi does not violate the GDPR regulation.
