The GDPR was enacted two years before it came into force. Companies trading in the EU had plenty of time to come into compliance. LQDN didn't "wait for the law to get signed" - it was signed ages ago. They waited until it was enforceable. It's worth pointing out that the GDPR is an EU "regulation". It doesn't have to be ratified by member states, and they don't have to implement some kind of compliant national legislation. This is very different from the previous EU privacy legislation, which required member states to enact suitable laws, which many of them were apparently reluctant to do. The GDPR came into force the day the regulation was issued. It's just that "came into force" means that the 2-year breathing-space provided for in the regulation began at that time. [Edit: changed 3 years to 2 years] |
