If this is true in Europe, I'm curious what the implications are w.r.t. GDPR.

[stordoff → connorgreenwell]

Probably very little. The data will be being made public under a law mandating that, and the GDPR allows for that:

> Processing shall be lawful [...if...] processing is necessary for compliance with a legal obligation to which the controller is subject

I believe the parent is talking about the example of a land ownership database.

Oh, oops, you're right.

It's not true where I am in Europe, this sort of info is accessible to government employees only.
