I work in a company that was acquired and we're still our own legal entity. Would our owner be affected if we violate GDPR?
- jacquesm 8y agoNo, in that case the owner is just a shareholder. But if the original legal entity no longer exists (which I believe is the case with Instapaper) then it doesn't matter that you've been acquired, you are now part of the mothership.
- zitterbewegung 8y agoSo a LLC with owned by a larger company would that allow for the owner to be a shareholder ?
- ryanwaggoner 8y agoBut if the original legal entity no longer exists (which I believe is the case with Instapaper) Unlikely. "Instapaper Holdings, Inc." is right in their footer.
- jimnotgym 8y agoThat would depend on what kind of ownership structure you have. Do they exercise management control, have seats on the board etc?
