Default Re: Gdpr - upcoming law for European merchants

That's fine. However just because a company has online presence doesn't mean it does business with EU. if anything it is the choice of the EU customer to do business with that company.
I agree personal/financial data must be protected at all times. But at the same time it is the customer that places an order and provides the personal data voluntarily - or there will be no order. We already have the PCI-DSS rules which are very strict if you ask me. So this new one is more about the personal info.

Anyway I am not opposing it just think it is a little bit arrogant for EU to think they can dictate what businesses outside EU can or should do. Same applies to USA by the way - many examples how USA thinks they can tell everyone what to do...
