Anyway, it's not a "European value", it's a piece of legislation, so it falls under the "European jurisdiction" category, not the "European values" category.
That complying with "European values" is part of the project goals is unfortunate. Who decides what are European values? There's no Declaration of European Values. We don't all have the same values. There are just European laws, and then a whole bunch of opinions that not all Europeans agree about.
Let's switch that around: you're referring to their right not to be listed in my database any more.
I don't see what difference it makes whether I'm incorporated or not; I'm not OK with the idea that certain information cannot be shared. Like, if the information is false, that's one thing; but a legal requirement that some true information must be hidden, that seems like pure badness.
Still, it's a good illustration that it's a somewhat unique European value. It's definitely not an American value.
do you also think you’re not allowed to remember people’s names without permission because of GDPR?
