About a year ago me and friend of mine created smartphone monitoring app/s with website, subscription and everything, we have about 50 customers with about 150 devices. About a half of the customers are located in EU, main servers are located in US and backup are in EU (Frankfurt).
About the app, lets say you have a young kid who has a smartphone and you want to know, with who he chats, what he watches on yt, what sites he visits and etc.
We are not registered as business, after we pay for servers we make enough for a dinner and a movie. It's nothing serious.
Because we do not make enough to quit our day jobs let alone hire lawyer is there way our app can survive in EU or do we have to block access?
You’re not complying with numerous other regulations like business registration, tax licenses, etc. The reality is all small businesses have to ignore compliance to get off the ground.
Don’t listen to others trying to scare you over nothing. It’s a matter of perspective.
