A recent ruling (namely the Schrems II one) makes it very complicated to host and process data in countries that we used to consider as having &quot;equivalent&quot; privacy protection. The most prominent of course is the USA, but the UK could be on the line at some point.<p>For now it has an &quot;adequacy decision&quot;[1] allowing such transfer, but future changes could threaten that, and activist such as Max Schrems would happily (and rightfully) attack this decision if it happened.<p>Schrems II might be a blessing in disguise for the European hosting&#x2F;Saas&#x2F;Cloud industry, we&#x27;ll see !<p>[1]: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;ec.europa.eu&#x2F;commission&#x2F;presscorner&#x2F;detail&#x2F;pt&#x2F;ip_21_3183" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;ec.europa.eu&#x2F;commission&#x2F;presscorner&#x2F;detail&#x2F;pt&#x2F;ip_21_...</a>

As Bruce Sterling said in Early 2016 [1]:<p>&gt; Great Britain is becoming Little Britain. The UK is like a giant Cayman Islands in 2016. They used to be the wise and perfidious grownups in the geostrategic room, but now it&#x27;s all about squalid, petty things like Brexit, Scottish secession, anti-immigration; British political extremes are thriving and the middle is dead as mutton. They&#x27;ve lost their soft-power by the bucketful; people who used to beg for their wise counsel now ignore them. What do they want -- to be Airstrip One for any creep with a trailer-truck full of cash? I&#x27;ve never seen them think so small.<p>This was even before the Brexit vote, and before BoJo became PM...<p>[1] <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;people.well.com&#x2F;conf&#x2F;inkwell.vue&#x2F;topics&#x2F;487&#x2F;Bruce-Sterling-Jon-Lebkowsky-Sta-page02.html#post44" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;people.well.com&#x2F;conf&#x2F;inkwell.vue&#x2F;topics&#x2F;487&#x2F;Bruce-St...</a>

Interestingly the Dutch have been very keen to capture Tech companies (or at least make it an attractive place for employees).<p>There is a low flat tax rate (30% iirc) for some years (was 5 when I last checked) if you&#x27;re working in an &quot;in-demand&quot; sector, and tech is one of those sectors.<p>This is somewhat controversial from what I understand, not all of the Dutch like it, and I understand why: it&#x27;s not really very fair to give foreigners a tax break and not your own people. But it&#x27;s interesting nonetheless.

&gt;Whilst we’re headquartered in the UK, our revenue is split 55% US, 25% EU, 9% UK<p>Having worked as a European expat in the UK for about two years in the software industry this is how it looks for a lot of companies. Majority of revenue is either US or the European market (largely depending on what you&#x27;re selling), with the UK market at most capturing say, 20%-30% of revenue.<p>It makes in my mind no sense at all to diverge from the EU on privacy policy. All the difficult compliance matters hat already been harmonized over the years, most of them are sensible anyhow and good enough to build upon, and the world is more and more moving towards data sovereignty type frameworks, in Asia as well.<p>The British market itself is now so small on the world-stage, some kind of national solo-mission when software is so reliant on global markets

Welcome Cronofy, hope you find your bearings here quickly! (the landscape can be a bit flat, but almost everyone speaks English so that should help. Try a &quot;stroopwafel&quot; ASAP)

Why posted on the personal blog instead of the company site?

As a Brit I&#x27;m utterly disgusted by what&#x27;s happened to this country under years of corrupt Tory misrule, and yes I&#x27;m also including NuLab during the Blair years but what can I do? I have consistently voted for pro EU parties but my voice seems to be drowned out by the baying racist xenophobic majority in this country. In the end it might be time to emigrate elsewhere.

An expected result from a sad, populist ideology shoved through under the guise of &quot;winning&quot;. GDPR has plenty of flaws, but overall is a positive force for personal data privacy. Ironically, it&#x27;s the business-to-business context — where the legal fees and fines are high — where this is being tested. And the UK is definitely losing.

Sometimes I wonder if the GDPR will go down in history like, say, the Magna Carta, a legal construct that changes history.

Surely you don&#x27;t have to degrade your security to a lower UK standard, you can still meet GDPR and make it clear on your website, &quot;Do you conform to GDPR?&quot;, &quot;Yes we do. Although the UK have a lower standard of data protection, we still meet the stricter standard&quot;

The UK has ousted its boring technocrats and experts - our politicians and our public have embraced populism. We will ignore energy policy and GDPR because it&#x27;s boring and spend our time debating culture wars in broadsheets and tabloids instead.

Honestly what we need in the UK is a Back to the EU campaign that formulates a long term strategy for returning. In two decades England&#x27;s Baby Boomer generation will no longer hold the reigns of power in the country (please God) and those in charge will have come from a generation that overwhelmingly voted Remain.

The UK has launched a consolution on how to improve Data Protection Laws.<p>One campaign on this consultation is to abolish the stupid Cookie Consent requirement, that is evidenced again and again to be wholley pointless.<p>Anouther campaign with this consultation is to enable medical researches to use anonomised NHS data. The National Health Service (NHS) is huge and useing that data could usher in some great medical advancements.<p>The government cites a project at Moorfields Eye Hospital and the University College London Institute of Ophthalmology where machine learning technology was applied to thousands of historic de-personalised eye scans to identify signs of eye disease and recommend how patients should be referred for care.<p>There is no plans to weaken GDPR. Even if there was Adam Bird&#x27;s company is welcome to go above and beyond the requirement.<p>It&#x27;s all nonsense, move if you want to. At this stage he doesnt even know what is changeing, to state Brexit and GDPR as the reason is premature.

&quot;What the UK government is proposing is going to put us on the same footing as US companies when it comes to dealing with EU customers, ie under the auspice of a regime that can’t be trusted.&quot;<p>Not sure you want to alienate the US just to score some political points when by you own admission - the bulk of your business is with the US ( a country that has a larger patriotic base than the UK and more experience of how to exit a union ala 1776). Point being any US company can implement a more stringent data policy beyond the scope of legal remit within the country of operations, so that&#x27;s a USP that isn&#x27;t exclusive. More so given you charge in $ already and not £&#x27;s or ever have!<p>But then, that&#x27;s why the blog is not upon the company domain (of which cronofy.uk is available still) - even they can see it is a bit too politically charged and slanted. So with that, prudent move and appreciate it is good to vent and some venting can cause issues, so a fine balance in that approach and kudos for the hindsight to see that.<p>As for new location - have a good look as some EU countries offer some nice incentive packages and I&#x27;m sure many would love to see those compared.
