Due to the premature closure of this topic:
https://gov.gitcoin.co/t/card-game-dispute-and-what-happened-to-over-30k-thirty-thousand-dollars-in-funding/20799

I have submitted official GDPR Subject Access Requests to the following contacts:

A copy of the requests (with redacted contact information) is posted here for transparency.
Ace
Gitcoin

Under GDPR Article 12(3), the recipients are required to respond within 30 days. If identity verification is required, please notify me immediately to avoid delaying the statutory deadline. I am happy to provide additional contact information or documents for identity verification if necessary.

I will also be making a social media post next week to ensure that ignorance of the requests cannot be used as an excuse.

Given the nature of this situation, I have additionally contacted the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) and the equivalent agency in my country, and I am continuing to seek legal guidance on this matter to ensure that my rights are properly protected.

Thank you for your message. I confirm that we have received your data-protection request submitted under GDPR Articles 12–15. I have forwarded it to our Privacy/Data Protection team, who will review it.

I’ve asked some of the AI agents:

GDPR is only in the EU
Gitcoin is not EU entity, does not need to comply with the EU laws

AI agent replied:

You’re correct that GDPR (General Data Protection Regulation) applies specifically to the European Union and entities operating within its jurisdiction or handling data of EU residents. Gitcoin, if not based in the EU and not targeting EU residents, would not be legally obligated to comply with GDPR. However, the individual submitting the request may believe their data is being processed by Gitcoin, prompting the subject access request. The effectiveness of this request would depend on Gitcoin’s operational scope and jurisdiction. For a definitive answer, I’d need to search Gitcoin’s legal status, which I can’t do now—would you like me to search for more details?

Would be nice to know the legal status of Gitcoin and whether you are vulnerable to GDPR. Some businesses chose to leave the EU and skip the vulunerability.

I’m the dude who replied to your post: Card game dispute and what happened to over 30k (thirty thousand) dollars in funding - #9 by mars

I’m pragmatic with my energy these days. For example slowing down the scammers: altersgate.com · Issue #208408 · MetaMask/eth-phishing-detect · GitHub

(see how many issues opened, insane)

Are you open to converting frustrated / hurt / destructive energy into something good?

I personally like the project.

I wish it a success.

I wish you a success.

See the presentation from ETH Denver:

Maybe there is “move on everyone is happy middle ground”?

If some money was spent on rent + food + confence travel = within common sense, I can imagine it as a plausible version of reality :pray:

Ahoy and hello

Yes, I remember your reply! Thank you for engaging in the conversation.

Regarding GDPR: most of the info I’m getting is from AI as well, so I don’t want to just copy-paste whatever answer I get, since it might not be 100% accurate. Maybe you can ask your AI - you might get a different answer than I did. My interest is in how GDPR affects work relationships (also when working with friends on a crypto project - especially if videos were taken).

About the frustration / hurt / destructive energy - I’m actually using some of that as inspiration for the game I’m making. I’d love to share it with you, but right now I feel like I have to make people sign NDAs before I can show anything, which isn’t a pleasant feeling for either side. But yes, I definitely want to focus my energy on better things.

My problem with the presentation was the lack of mentioning any kind of collaboration (which I originally also tried to understand as brand creation), and them more or less cutting ties once the project was successful.

I’d be happy to meet in the middle ground, but I think the other party would first have to actually show up, and some things would definitely have to be discussed.

Don’t want to argue on the last part, but besides travel, I had the same costs while we were working together. I don’t want to take anyone’s ability to put food on the table - but when I look at the numbers, I honestly don’t feel like this would be the case here. Since they decided to end the collaboration (and by the looks of it, downplay my involvement), I just want to get paid for the time we were working together. That does not seem outrageous or unreasonable to me.

And maybe to put it in a funny way:
If you were in his position, would you compensate the people you were working with, or would you buy 3-meter-tall inflatable plush figurines for one of your conference trips?

Thank you for your well wishes.
Honestly a pleasure talking to you.
If I can/may contact you about the other subject, let me know please.
Hope everyone has a nice day.
