You're getting my downvote because you and whoever upvoted you, are greatly missing the point of the GDPR. The whole point of it IS end-user personal data protection and transparency on the ways that a company will gather data from you.

If anything, we need more of it in other non-EU countries. Let me give you a short example: in the EU you have the right to be "forgotten" by a company in terms of the data they have on you. As in, you contact that company, request they delete all the data they have on you which they have to legally comply to. That's all thanks to the GDPR.
