Yes, because a minimum fine of $10 million for a 1 person business is totally reasonable, unless by the grace of the bureaucracy, they decide to give you a warning instead. /s
Also the GP post, there is more than 'avoiding collecting data'. If you have text field comments form and a 3rd party puts 'personal data' in that, then that is GDPR liable! You also need audit logs and and list of other requirements that needs multi engineer teams to implement properly.
As a result, most small businesses with email are probably not going to be properly compliant on some level and you can prosecute anyone. Just like the new-ish VAT laws, large stores are going to be compliant because they can afford it, while some petty bureaucrat will prosecute the small online shops instead.
- true_religion 9y agoThe ten million is a maximum, not a minimum.
- nothrabannosir 9y ago“Whichever is higher” is a max(), not a min(), i.e. it’s a “minimum” (counter-intuitively)
- true_religion 9y agoI thought since they said a fine "up to X" it would mean that X was the upper boundary. So you could certainly be fined a lot less than $10 million.
- eitland 9y agoSeems like something like =max(whatTheJudgeThinks, max(10mEUR, 0.02*turnover))
