- vertex-four 8y agoSure, and in fact that’s meant to be the primary enforcement mechanism. But fines aren’t what I’m talking about there - civil lawsuits without a regulator involved are possible under the GDPR, although their potential damage is limited to actual damages and the cost of hiring a lawyer.
- ainiriand 8y agoThe first enforcement mechanism is going to be a letter detailing the complaint and asking for information about how you deal with user's data. If they think you are not handling it properly, you are asked to change it, that's it.
