Cricut’s Design Space enforces automatic cloud syncing of user files, even those stored “locally.” This raises serious GDPR concerns, especially when files contain personal data like client details, addresses, or sensitive info, undermining user control and privacy.

What steps can we take to push Cricut toward GDPR compliance and respectful data handling? Would regulatory complaints or organized campaigns for local-only storage options make a difference?

Looking forward to your thoughts and strategies!

      | Don’t know what that is.

      Apologies, I should have provided more context! Cricut is a company that sells vinyl cutter machines with printing features often used to create stylish cards, envelopes, and crafts. For example, you could receive a physical card or letter created with Cricut that contains your personal information (like addresses or messages) even if you don’t use their services. This raises concerns because files with such private data are automatically uploaded to Cricut’s cloud without user control, which. I think. infringe GDPR.

        You don’t need to apologize: that user could have clicked your link to the cricut site and easily figured it out. They are being willfully ignorant and intentionally vauge.
