Yes, I think I will bring it to their attention :) GDPR only applies to processing of personal data for business purposes, so if it is just a personal blog then I wouldn't worry about it :)

Ok, fears have been cast aside for now. Although I will start selling some tracks, EPs, maybe even an ebook eventually so how many thousands of pages of documentation will I have to read? :P I do have a WordPress site that uses Woocommerce, which has informed me they are GDPR compliant...?
Yes under GDPR both data controller and data processor have to be compliant, so your data processor is informing you that they are GDPR compliant so that you can use their service to conduct your business, however, that will not relieve you of your obligation to be GDPR compliant once you start your business :)
Hmmm thanks for letting me know. So how do I become GDPR compliant? Is there an easy-to-read summary of it all?
There is the actual legislation and then there is also a lot written about different parts of GDPR and its interpretation. As this is a new piece of legislation and there is no case law on how the courts will actually apply it. I will try to write some guides for small businesses and share them here. Are you on Linkedin?
I am on LinkedIn - my profile is here. Yes I think that would be very useful for many! I'm also looking to set up as a freelancer eventually so want to make sure I have the fundamentals first before potentially landing myself in trouble!
