I have ~600 small business customers from the EU who are using my SaaS product and until now I received zero requests regarding GDPR. It seems it was the right decision to ignore this law, because no one cares about it. The same thing was with the cookie banner. Never built it into the product and in 6 years not even a single person asked about it...

The GDPR has been in effect for less than three days, two of which have been weekend. A bit premature to say, "nobody's enforcing this law", isn't it?

The cookie banner is different because everyone knew it was completely meaningless. Whether GDPR is or not remains to be seen; it's certainly not an "everybody knows" situation yet.

Simple advise: If ever anyone asks: Be active and responsive.

But remember: The GDPR protects people's data. Companies aren't people (at least in the EU).

if you 're likely to receive requests, you re most likely to receive them now that gdpr is in the news.
