I overheard two German startup employees at a cafe discussing their company's financial results


I immediately approached their table


Told them I had overheard personal data and needed their consent to retain it


They looked confused but I explained this is basic GDPR


We spent 40 minutes filling out consent forms on my laptop


I always carry templates for situations like this


They signed everything and said "finally someone who understands data protection"


We shook hands


I went home and immediately reported them to the Financial Supervisory Authority for discussing confidential company information in public


I also reported the cafe for not having visible GDPR signage


This is how trust is built in society


Americans think freedom means saying anything anywhere


But freedom means proper documentation and accountability
