Offices in the UK. I would encourage anyone in the EU who used this to file a GDPR complaint.

Quickly though.

  GDPR applies for all users located in the EU, not only to companies headquartered in the EU, so Brexit is not that much of a concern here. Also, the transition period will bind the UK to most EU laws for a few more years.

    It is already in U.K. law, in any event: * http://legislation.gov.uk/ukpga/2018/12/contents/enacted/data.htm http://legislation.gov.uk/ukpga/2018/12/contents/enacted/dat...

      That isn't the GDPR, although it is related. The GDPR is UK law automatically because it is a Regulation, not a Directive (which needs to be transposed into national law). The Data Protection Act 2018 implements the Law Enforcement Directive (as the GDPR excludes that from its scope) and a couple of minor derogations (such as changing the age of consent for children to use websites by themselves to 14).

  That's nice for them. I also have the right to refer them to my local data commissioner though, about the absolutely lack of meaningful consent they gathered from me here. I hope their investors get taken to the cleaners by the resulting fines.

  That still isn't GDPR compliant, because it's forced consent, which is no consent.

  Data collection by default. They don't even ask to "opt in". Hopefully they will pay enough in EU to learn.

I thought the UK left the EU after havin negotiated the deal in an afternoon.
