Ask HN: If GDPR compliance was optional, how much would you pay for it?
The major parts[1]: consent, data access, rectification of errors, records of data processing, transfers to other processors, erasure.
So, imagine that "GDPR Compliance" was an optional line item that each consumer could decide whether to purchase. What's a service that you're currently paying for (out of your own pocket, not for a business), and how much extra would you pay for a GDPR compliant version of that service?
Another way to think of it, for those using Gmail for personal email: inexpensive email services exist that are already far more privacy-conscious, like FastMail at $30-$50/year. How little would privacy need to cost in order to make it a good value for you?
There's no right answers here, only a hint whether GDPR (or even "privacy" - GDPR is as close to a definition as exists) provides more value to end users than the cost to comply with/deliver it.
