More worryingly: if Santa knows who's been naughty and who's been nice, he would necessarily have been aware that the other reindeer had been mobbing Rudolph, but did <i>nothing</i> about it until circumstances made Rudolph's talents useful to the North Pole.
Santa Claus lives off the grid and flies his unregistered aircraft across borders with no use for a passport.<p>Santa Claus is a free man on the land sovereign citizen
My 3 year old asked me how Santa knows when you are sleeping and I told him “metadata” - he asked how he knows if you’ve been bad or good, and I told him, intelligence sharing agreements between five eyes nations. I hope he has a sense of humor about this when he gets older (but he probably won’t remember it)
Obviously, Santa is a timelord who has assumed the identity of Saint Nicholas of Myra. This explains why he can live forever, why he appears differently to different children using psychic paper (skin color, clothing, shape, different names, etc), can enter homes without chimneys (Tardis disguised as a sleigh) and why his sack is bigger on the inside than the outside. The Doctor isn't the only timelord who has an affinity for earthlings.
I'm asking my children every time, whether they consent to giving the Santa their list of actions. If they don't consent, they won't be receiving any gifts at all. It's that simple.
He does not need consent because of Article 6 (e), which says that <i>"to perform a task in the public interest or in official authority"</i> is a lawful purpose.<p>Also people always forget that the scope of the GDPR is limited. The following three areas are generally exempt:<p>- Personal or household activities<p>- Law enforcement<p>- National Security
This seems like it could fit somewhere in <i>Santa Claus: an Engineer’s Perspective</i>: <a href="https://users.ece.cmu.edu/~andrew5/cute/engineer_santa.txt" rel="nofollow noreferrer">https://users.ece.cmu.edu/~andrew5/cute/engineer_santa.txt</a>
Santa literally performs breaking and entering in every home and nation in the world. He's an international criminal. I don't think he's losing sleep over GDPR.
