I was wondering why I had a 1.5million negative on my account a couple of days ago.
Thanks for staying on top of this Bok. I authorized external transfers an hour ago. I also checked LHC, but didn't find a privacy setting available for configuration.
Are you talking about https://lhcathome.cern.ch/ ? If so, I don't see a privacy option on my project preferences page. I do have a box for "General terms-of-use for this BOINC project," which I have checked.
It looks like LHC are reconsidering this given the disruptive nature of not having the stats exported.
As of this moment, it appears GDPR has cost the team around 650 million credits. The top losers seem to be:

Very sad. I wonder how Formula Boinc has been affected. Also, I presume that participants in challenges and the Pentathlon must permit their statistics to be exported from the projects that offer a privacy choice.

I see that numberfields is now requiring a GDPR privacy setting for exporting stats. Is there some place in the forum where we can start a topic that announces project changes regarding GDPR as people become aware of them?
