GDPR is heavily based on the old German "Bundesdatenschutzgesetz" (Federal Data Protection Act). There is little new in it that wasn't the law in Germany already, only now it carries way higher penalties.
The law was passed in 1977 in its first form on the federal level, was already in effect on state-level in 1971, and thus is older than Google by a few decades.
