Will the GDPR succeed in encouraging tech start-ups?
summary
Panel tests the final GDPR text against two fictional startups Lend.io and Spot.Hole: Lend.io keeps automated profiling but must add safeguards, a DPO and a DPIA (difficulty rated ~5 and ~7 respectively); Spot.Hole faces onerous notice/consent obligations (difficulty ~8) and exposure to penalties of 4% of turnover. Recommended fixes: short-form privacy notices, certification/seals, model PIAs, external DPOs and new data‑vault style services; readiness and cross‑border interpretation remain the biggest risks.
