Did GDPR actually make ANY difference to how our data is handled?

Yeah, but if its really helping you I dunno.

Yes, a client of us (an airline) wanted to send an email to a large group of customers (about 85.000). They were only allowed to send it to a group of 500 people because they didn't ask permission in the ordering process.

Yes, and I like it. Now I can ask questions about my data and I must be answered. No more ignores or "we do not provide this information"!

Whenever I'm filling out a paper form I always ask "what are you going to use my contact info for? What do you need my home address for?" and they are obligated to answer.

Got rid of lots of potential spam thanks to GDPR

Yes, you can take a look of what data has been collected

@AndSoWeCode How would that hide malicious js?

Except for that, at least over here it has already changed some stuff for the good (having more choice as for being tracked online, huge fines for companies who mishandled data, I don't get Dutch spam emails anymore and more)

Just wondering when Google (and facebook) will get their first fines :)

@AndSoWeCode Hmm I get what you mean but wouldn't more upset interaction mean that tracking options would be available?

If you'd remove those, the visitor wouldn't have as much choice as for opting out of tracking (whether you care about that or not, it should be a choice you can make).

As for the big companies, it actually has resulted in huge fines already over here and companies being forced to respect customers wishes when they didn't have to at first so over here it's already made a difference.
