And if I didn't explicitly allow Square to publicize my character data as they see fit on their website, it certainly would.
But those are of course silly examples that you're using as a strawman.

Howevere fflogs isn't part of my agreement with Square.
It's a separate thing that is collecting data that can be used to indirectly identify me, and thus is subject to EU data collection laws.

And it's not that I even really care about fflogs myself.
I just found it weird (and a bit funny) so many people are so very sure it's all legal, when it's clearly not.
Just accept it's not fully legal in every country, be happy or sad it's small enough to be ignored, and don't be surprised when people complain about it.
Those laws only apply to your personal information. Once again, your dps is not "personal information", your character name is not "personal information".
