GDPR regulates companies processing personal identifiable information, if your startup can't comply with that it shouldn't exist for the same reasons that a food startup that can't comply with food safety regulations shouldn't exist.
Article 13 is straight up impossible to implement.
- LoSboccacc 8y ago> if your startup can't comply with that most startups can and will. but it basically adds up the requirement of lawyering up to every startup that wants to operate here de facto annihilating the possibility for single man operations to bootstrap an idea cashless.
- krageon 8y agoIt doesn't do that, because you don't need to toe the line.

- LoSboccacc 8y agothere's no avoiding gdpr. how do you do presales without? it's not just about the trackers. every information is impacted from prospect contacts book to hiring, all that information requires consent and a public policy and a dpo. and someone has to write that policy and someone has to be your dpo. and that's operating costs that a garage level startup will not be able to sustain.
- krageon 8y agoOf course you are correct that the things you have just mentioned require some knowledge of the laws governing personal information. I just dispute the notion that this is required or even healthy. If you are of the position that the popular extremely invasive form of "marketing" is something that absolutely has to happen, then what I say will never apply to you. Especially as it pertains to it being self-evident that you're not violating anyone's rights.
