Yes, 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.
