The GDPR enforcement deadline is closing in. I've been working with the GDPR for the past few weeks and notice that a lot of personal websites, small businesses, and startups still have no idea what the GDPR is exactly, why they're also affected, and how to comply.
That's why I want to know: what are your concerns or questions about the GDPR?
Together with a group of lawyers and hobbyists (all doing active work about informing people for free online, they're a mix from the UK, US, EU), I'll do the research needed to answer your question and I'll post the answers.
Some common topics:
- Yes, you're affected even if you're not from the EU or if your website is hosted outside of the EU.
- IP addresses and (some) cookies are now personal data and can no longer be used without lawful basis (legitimate interest, consent, contractual).
- Granular consent is required. No default opt-ins, no "group opt-ins" where one checkbox applies for multiple things.
- Fines are up to 4% of annual global turnover or € 20 million, whichever is highest.
- GDPR makes no distinction between B2B or B2C.
- GDPR comes into effect before the UK officially leaves the European Union on March, 29th 2019. An equivalent set of data protection regulations need to be in place to continue trading with the EU.
The upside: our data/privacy is becoming ours again. So let's work on making our indie projects compliant, or even go beyond and implement Privacy by Design. đź‘Ť
