While this article is interesting, I strongly encourage anyone - from CEOs, to managers, to individual developers - to actually read the text of the GDPR.
This is not written in unintelligible legal-ese. It is very approachable, understandable by a layman, and organized such that relevant Articles are easy to find.
It might take an hour or two, yet may have a fundamental impact on how you approach your job for the foreseeable future. Time very well spent.
Here is an accessible version of it: https://gdpr-info.eu/ https://gdpr-info.eu/
EDIT: for clarity, that site is accessible from an organizational point of view (i.e., broken out by articles, not one long string of text). I do not know if it is accessible by screen readers or alternate input devices.

[1]: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Article_29_Data_Protection_Working_Party https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Article_29_Data_Protection_Wor... WP29 is "an advisory body made up of a representative from the data protection authority of each EU Member State, the European Data Protection Supervisor and the European Commission."
- ec109685 9y agoIf you work for a big company and are not a lawyer, you should listen to your lawyers and not try to interpret the law yourself. There are pitfalls and misunderstanding you will run into otherwise. If your company is large enough, they should meet with privacy regulators and work with them to show them implementation decisions and make sure the regulators are in alignment with the approach taken.
