o What rights and obligations do you believe e-commerce companies should have with respect to their users' data? Does Europe GDPR have it right or does it go too far?

How is your e-commerce company mitigating risks of liability due to potential mishandling or cyber-espionage affecting user data?
o What rights with respect to their own user data do you believe individuals should be granted control over? Consider what information about yourself you would like to keep private? Are there things you would not want co-workers, current or future employers, friends, current or future spouses or children, other family members, instructors, vendors, marketers, governments to know about you? Should regulations mandate receiving an affirmation of storing and/or sharing user data?
