Doesn’t GDPR only apply to businesses with more than 250 employees? Now that I type this out, does it apply to non-commercial actions at all? Does lemmy.world have even 1 “employee”?
Edit: I really should get better at just googling the questions I have instead of asking a stranger to do it, haha.
Some parts of it don’t apply to small businesses but it’s mostly about record keeping, and it doesn’t matter if you are non-commercial, you still must comply.
My understanding is if you process personal data (which includes things like screen name for the UK) then you need to comply.
Yeah, I realized I was just asking you to google something for me; sorry about that. I didn’t know t applied to usernames, though. How is that “personal data”?
No worries!

This makes a lot of sense. I was thinking of “personal data” as “something that identifies a specific person” instead.
