I am absolutely not criticizing your decision; you’re perfectly within your rights to refuse to deal with all the rigamarole of GDPR compliance. It’s easier and only 5% of your revenue, so why even bother. And I completely understand the issue of people sending unsolicited data. I’m sorry that my comment came across as though I was targeting you specifically. I’m just excited for a world where data is no longer a “yeah let’s just store everything with no thought”, and instead is a hot potato that you keep a trail of and want to get rid of as quickly as possible. What a difference that’ll be from the situation we have today. This article is just highlighting how just accepting random data puts businesses “on shaky ground” as you said. The GDPR will require everyone to be a lot more thoughtful about their data retention policies, and that’s just great.
