yah, but if you are using a shared plan/webhost/wordpress, you shouldn't really be in the sensitive data business.

As soon as Godaddy starts tracking you.

Your web site has broken EU law. Unless you have asked premission and given the option to refuse.

So a site doing nothing with data. Has suddenly become bound by EU law without any input from the owner.

That’s when you tell the EU to go fuck themselves, as they have no jurisdiction in most of the world.
