UK is not the only country that can sue you under GDPR. What if Bulgaria decides 20 million sound pretty good?

  Same regulation... Same process. You have to be a flagrant and persistent offender who ignores the regulator to even be facing a fine.

    Citation needed. I have seen absolutely zilch about the implementation of GDPR in countries like Hungary, Romania or Bulgaria. And they are members of the EU as well, you know.

      It's in the text of the legislation. Chapter 7 sets out the requirements for the European Data Protection Board to ensure consistent application of the regulations across all member states. Article 83 states that any penalties must be proportionate to the nature, gravity and duration of the infringement, the intentional or negligent character of the infringement, action taken to prevent or mitigate an infringement and the degree of cooperation with the supervisory authority. https://gdpr-info.eu/ https://gdpr-info.eu/

  Furthermore mark your callendar as 18 of march 2019 is when UK leaves EU and GDPR wont apply anymore.

    No one in government has announced a plan to repeal the GDPR from UK law.

      However there is a grand plan to do the absolute opposite, which is to adopt the entirety of EU law into UK law. The so called "Great Repeal Bill" or whatever they are calling it this week.

  It's very unlikely the EU as a whole will tolerate spurious GDPR lawsuits. They're quite aware that this has made many companies nervous.

  With that money you can bribe every cop my country 100 times over. I wouldn't worry about it :p

Neither does the ICO answer the question if a sole owner can be the DPO nor does it help to determine if this case would require a DPO. Anyway, how should the ICO be able to be more concrete then the GDPR?
