If you want the law in a machine-readable format (YAML &#x2F; JSON), we open-sourced our GDPR portal which includes parsers and raw data for the entire law as well as all recitals and footnotes in German as well as English:<p><a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;DPKit&#x2F;gdpr-portal" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;DPKit&#x2F;gdpr-portal</a><p>The website itself is available here:<p><a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;gdpr.dpkit.com" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;gdpr.dpkit.com</a> (EN) <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;dsgvo.dpkit.com" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;dsgvo.dpkit.com</a> (DE) (works well on mobile too)<p>This is a work-in-progress, please let us know if you have any questions.

This is great and would be even better if it included the official adopted guidance from the working groups. For example, this is a very useful document:<p><a href="http:&#x2F;&#x2F;ec.europa.eu&#x2F;newsroom&#x2F;article29&#x2F;item-detail.cfm?item_id=622227" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;ec.europa.eu&#x2F;newsroom&#x2F;article29&#x2F;item-detail.cfm?item_...</a>

This is nice. Though it’s worth pointing out to UX folks that flags are not languages.<p><a href="http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.flagsarenotlanguages.com&#x2F;blog&#x2F;why-flags-do-not-represent-language&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.flagsarenotlanguages.com&#x2F;blog&#x2F;why-flags-do-not-re...</a>

Not sure if Algolia doesn&#x27;t generally work on mobile but this page is unusable on my Galaxy S8 in Chrome. See <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;imgur.com&#x2F;a&#x2F;SEP6qdo" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;imgur.com&#x2F;a&#x2F;SEP6qdo</a>

This makes me wonder how Algolia deals with GDPR.<p>For instance, if a user requests their data to be removed, how fast can this be reflected in Algolia&#x27;s indices, and in the instant-search?

I went in and searched for children, so I can see there is not even English language stemming going on - which I mean that is the most common language to find a stemmer from in my experience.<p>I used to work for Thomson Reuters on their legal services products and while it is nice seeing something like this outside of a paid for service it&#x27;s not that impressive. Maybe I&#x27;m jaded but from the comments here I was expecting to say &#x27;wow, that is cool&#x27; and not immediately find that stemming didn&#x27;t work.<p>on edit: fixed misspelling, formatting

Great work! UK charity The Society for Computers and Law is running a hackathon with the ICO in June in case anyone is interested in helping bring more tech to GDPR. Details at <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.scl.org" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.scl.org</a>

This:<p><a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;ico.org.uk&#x2F;for-organisations&#x2F;guide-to-the-general-data-protection-regulation-gdpr&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;ico.org.uk&#x2F;for-organisations&#x2F;guide-to-the-general-da...</a><p>Also has a search function and is a bit closer to the horses mouth.

This is great! I love how it automatically pulls full definitions for terms from the relevant &quot;Article 4. Definitions&quot; section and surfaces them throughout the text. I would love to see more legislation made available in this easy to understand format!

The presentation here is the most user friendly I have encountered so far: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;gdpr-info.eu&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;gdpr-info.eu&#x2F;</a>

This is awesome. Any chance algolia can make the whole of American Jurisprudence searchable? :D

Is the code for this website opensourced?
