The way GDPR is written, if you want to collect (and store) so much as the IP address of the potential customer who visited your website, you need their informed consent and you can’t require that they consent as a condition of providing service.
You have this the wrong way around. You'll need permission to store their IP address in logs that you keep and to inform third parties about their visits to your site. And that is because that information belongs to the visitor, not to you.
Basically, the regulation is so poorly written that it is utterly nonsensical and I wonder how business in Europe intend to function when they can’t make collecting someone’s address a condition of allowing them to order something online.
Basically, this example is so bad that it's not even wrong. -- Niels.
