A client recently told me that one of their departments opted out of our privacy-centered information project because it picked a particular system so it wouldn’t be subject to the GDPR. The problem is, that’s not how it works!Here’s my minute-long take on that and the same trap emerging in the U.S.© Steve Weissman • All Rights Reserved • www. hollygroup.com • 617-383-4655
