Before the GDPR, IT companies could afford to ignore the requirements for processing personal data to achieve their own goals. The GDPR sharply increases the size of fines. Systematic non-compliance with the new requirements threatens a fine of up to 20 million euros or 4% of the company's turnover for the previous financial year.
The increase in the fine is necessary to force those IT giants that might otherwise choose to pay fines rather than comply with the new regulation to comply with the GDPR. It is assumed that Google and other corporations will be forced to comply with the new requirements.
Before issuing a fine, a potential violator will be sent a letter demanding that the violations be corrected. Thanks to this, honest small and medium businesses will be able to avoid unnecessary expenses.
