> it is the company that is violating the law, not the lower profile group.

I work in a company that was acquired and we're still our own legal entity. Would our owner be affected if we violate GDPR?

That would depend on what kind of ownership structure you have. Do they exercise management control, have seats on the board etc?

No, in that case the owner is just a shareholder. But if the original legal entity no longer exists (which I believe is the case with Instapaper) then it doesn't matter that you've been acquired, you are now part of the mothership.

Unlikely. "Instapaper Holdings, Inc." is right in their footer.

So a LLC with owned by a larger company would that allow for the owner to be a shareholder ?
