Re: Birthday's and Death Dates?
The situation is absolutely ridiculous and annoying.
I hope it is resolved soon.

Please explain the law regarding BoxRec not being able to show dates of birth and death.

GDPR is the law, not sure I agree that it should affect boxrec though

It also has no bearing whatsoever on the data of deceased people.Controversial wrote: ↑05 Aug 2021, 14:58

Exactly but I assume the database would need tweaking to differentiate between those alive and deceased.wouter wrote: ↑06 Aug 2021, 03:54It also has no bearing whatsoever on the data of deceased people.Controversial wrote: ↑05 Aug 2021, 14:58

I agree. I think we've just gone for the lazy option and are satisfied with the data being available in the Wiki for deceased fighters.Controversial wrote: ↑06 Aug 2021, 05:01 Exactly but I assume the database would need tweaking to differentiate between those alive and deceased.

Looking on other official sports sites like NBA, F1, Tennis etc they all show dates of birth, they don't seem bothered by GDPR
Re: Birthday's and Death Dates?
Would it not be possible to show the year of birth (and death) at least?
