> That’s an interesting view. Do you own a business where you had to implement GDPR or is this theoretical? I'm obviously biased because I work for a company providing CRM software. That said, that gives me a decent amount of expertise in the matters too. Basically we need to get all our own customer-data and systems GDPR-compliant. Which I won't deny has been a reasonably big effort on our part. But instead of only doing this for ourselves, we've put all this effort into getting our own CRM-software GDPR-compliant instead, meaning in the process all our customers get to benefit from this at near zero cost. Basically: By using a modern, maintained and competent CRM-solution, you should get GDPR-compliance in your core-databases almost "for free". I won't push my own company here, but it should be trivial to find should you be curious. If your CRM-solution does not help you provide GDPR-compliance, you should consider how serious they are in these matters and if you want to continue using them. And if you don't have a CRM-solution at all (really?) it's definitely time to consider getting one, because that's going to be the absolutely best tool you will get w.r.t. ensuring compliance. > Oh, and did you know that GDPR also affects the work of teachers, solo entrepreneurs, doctors and the like? It affects stored and processed privacy-sensitive information. Why should certain professions or business-categories be excluded?
