It is legal to put my European friends in there, considering GDPR?

The GDPR doesn't apply to personal usage of data - only if you're using the data in the course of operating a business.

> In the case of personal or household activities, the Information Commissioner’s Office in the UK outlines the exemption as being the processing of personal data in the course of a ‘purely’ personal or household activity, with “no connection to a professional or commercial activity”
