Of course, you could stop doing business with California…
Half of companies missed GDPR deadline, 70% admit systems won’t scale
Even if given two years notice to achieve GDPR compliance, only half of companies self-reported as compliant by May 25, 2018, a DataGrail survey reveals.
The Age of Privacy: The Cost of Continuous Compliance” report benchmarks the operational impact of the European General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR ) and the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA ), as well as sharing insights into lessons learned and attitudes toward privacy regulations.
… “Businesses without a European presence were not impacted by the GDPR. However, with the CCPA fast approaching, US businesses without GDPR are experiencing the same challenges that multinational companies did with GDPR,” said Daniel Barber, Co-founder & CEO, DataGrail.
Most companies reported taking at least seven months to achieve GDPR readiness, but now with CCPA only seven months away, they realize their systems will not support CCPA and other forthcoming privacy regulations. Companies will need to integrate and operationalize their privacy management to avoid the time-consuming and error-prone manual processes to comply with these regulations.”

Prince Harry won a legal battle with the paparazzi using Europe's GDPR privacy law — and it gives the royals a powerful new weapon against the media
Prince Harry this week notched another victory in the royal family's long-running battle with paparazzi photographers, securing a "substantial payout" from an agency which used a helicopter to take pictures inside a house he was renting.
Potentially even more interesting than that is the way in which he won his battle — basing a legal case partly on a sweeping new European data law that is less than a year old.
According to a statement delivered to London's High Court on Thursday, in which the paparazzi agency Splash News apologized to Harry, also known as the Duke of Sussex (emphasis ours):
"This matter concerns a claim for misuse of private information, breaches of The Duke's right to privacy under Article 8 ECHR and breaches of the General Data Protection Regulation ("GDPR") and Data Protection Act 2018 ("DPA")."
pursuing photographers on the grounds that their business constitutes illegal data processing is a new strategy, and a use of GDPR that few would have predicted.
But, at least according to the thrust of Harry's legal argument, a photograph can be personal data too — even one of your home which you are not even in. One concern may have been that the photographs gave away Harry's address.
Once you accept that the pictures Splash took count as Harry's personal data, they have a whole host of obligations.
Timothy Pinto, a senior counsel for the law firm Taylor Wessing, wrote an article about GDPR in media law, which said that it offers a potentially attractive alternative to claims of defamation of invasion of privacy.
