Am I missing something?? Sure you could be sued, and that might end the small business. But isn’t that what limited liability companies are for?
Option 1: close it down through fear of something happening.
Option 2: close it down if the worst thing actually happens.
Either way if the small company is operating at a loss/ v small profit, it’s not going to harm you personally?
- chunkyslink 8y agoYes, I think you are missing somewthing. You can't be sued for GDPR. You get reported to an authority that will handle the process. The Americans think you can just sue people all the time. It not what it is like in Europe. The point of this legislation is to help users, not to penalise businesses. I mean how many companies were prosecuted for the cookie law?
- boobsbr 8y ago> You get reported to an authority that will handle the process. And then the authority will prosecute and fine you. You're screwed either way.
- chunkyslink 8y agoNo you don't. You get the opportunity to sort things out first. This is not about prosecuting business. It is about protecting users. Completely different. It is really not such a big deal.
- DanBC 8y agoUnlikely. What's more likely is the regulator will send you a letter asking if you are in compliance or not, and then send you information about current best practice to bring you back into regulation. If your breaches are deliberate and flagrant you may end up with a fine. But regulation in Europe really is light touch.
