Jordi,

LOPD/LSSI does not = GDPR

But even if there was a probability that GDPR would operate like they do: (1) it is alarming that the fines mentioned on GDPR are 10-20X higher than even LOPD/LSSI's higher fines -AND- regarding LOPD/LSSI's relatively low minimum fine of 600 EUROs that you mentioned - it was explicated mentioned on the page you referenced - HOWEVER there is NOT any similar official (relatively) low-cost fines mentioned for GDPR anywhere.... there is only that NOT-reassuring "up to" phrase.

For someone hit with a GDPR fine, I don't think telling them, "JORDI PALET MARTINEZ claimed that the fine will be more reasonable for a smaller business that had a less egregious offense" - is going to necessarily make it so.

Believe me, I WANT you to be my GDPR fairy. I really really do. But I have to operate my business more realistically.
