The big companies do comply for sure as the fines can be very high.
Ordinary people or sole traders running small sites often don't know that they need to register every contact form or any registration system that asks for personal data. You also need to inform the persons about who collects their personal data (your info) , to what extent and for what purpose.
There is an exception for e-shops (if run by the owner , so there are no employees) since customers bying goods online enter into buy-sell agreement and therefore there is a legally given obligation to collect personal data for the purpose of that agreement.
You also need to keep track and docs of any incidents of personal data breach and inform the authority about those incidents. Totally fucked up shit.
On the other hand... if I ask FB to delete my account, they completely remove my data without any issues..
