Description

Is Keybase GDPR compliant? Keybase is a great service, and I'd hate to see it shut down by the massive fines that a company can get by violating GDPR. Even though Keybase is a U.S. based company, it can still be fined by the EU for violating GDPR if it has even a single EU citizen as a user. There is precedent in international law for enforcing judgements on foregin countries, and U.S. courts have enforced fines from foreign counties on U.S. companies before (see LICRA v. Yahoo! for a prominent example).

What policies and procedures has Keybase put into place to ensure it is GDPR compliant?
