Hi just wondering has everyone received their email to transfer over to accruscale from irm as i have not noted one yet

[Mol_PMB]

I haven't had one yet, but then I already have an Accurascale account as well. I assume they will be merged in some way, hopefully my points will be transferred across and merged.

I think the Accurascale team are having a very busy time at present; lots of recent deliveries to distribute, warehouse consolidation and some controversy on one of their UK models to deal with.

Hopefully there will be some more clarifications on the process when they get a chance, in the meantime I hope they're having a relaxing weekend.

Controversy?

If you didn’t already have an accurascale account you may have had one. If you did have an accurascale account under the same email then you won’t have done. Next job is consolidation of all open orders and preorders.

I apologise. I was trying to be helpful and I have ended up being unhelpful.

Please keep up the good work!

RMweb seems full of discussion on the 16t mineral wagons having the wrong juxtaposition of sides and ends. Some people seem to be making a mountain out of a molehill. I have no personal experience of these so have stayed well away from the debate.

I'm sure 95% of people won't care and 4% of people will modify them to suit their needs.

Accurascale account email received, and set up, all the way out here in the U.S. Midwest.  Looking forward to a rake of Park Royals later this year, whenever they come.  IRM truly is "the next level in Irish railway modelling."

Aha. Understood. Paul has already posted officially and I don’t think i’d call three people posting about it a ‘controversy’

Aw, you had me guessing, and my top guess was:

Somebody was furious because they bought a Ruston and it wasn't rusty.

So is the Irish Railway Models site going to be defunct soon?

Does this also mean that our customer data is now going to be stored in the UK?

IRM and many other businesses internationally use Shopify as an on-line sales platform, so IRM customer data likely to be stored on the 'cloud" somewhere.

Hi Mayner,  I get this but as IRM or Accurascale are the Data Controller are engaging Shopify under contract to deliver services on their behalf, they need to be clear in the privacy notice where our customer data is being processed.

There does not seem to be any of that information provided. 

The privacy notice mentions consent as the basis for processing but I don't think we were asked to give consent to have an Accurascale account created for us using the customer data we gave to IRM.

The data remains in the same cloud in the same locations processed by the same entity. Branding aside there is no actual legal difference.

Completed the move earlier.

Good to know. Can you confirm the locations where they keep customer data on Accurascale's behalf? Normally there are options provided which can be chosen in the commercial contract.

Shopify stores data in the Google cloud platform, with European customers data remaining in Europe.

I haven't received the email to migrate, and don't have an Accurascale account, as I wouldn't be interested in the UK scene at all
