The definition of an asset is something that provides probable future economic value to the firm. Personal data seems to fall under this category to me.

Hopefully this fine will help wake the industry up to the fact that this asset comes with considerable regulatory costs, and that those costs may well be more than the value of the asset.

Hopefully that will stop them hoarding personal data.

GDRP is working as intended :)
