And what is your problem complying with that if you collect no information nor share any information?

The main issue is proving compliance. Any website could, in theory, be recording information that counts as "personal data" under GDPR and CCPA without the user realizing it. What happens if a user doesn't believe you when you say you don't store or share anything? How do you prove to a regulator that you actually don't?
