> Especially, if you registered a company to make sure you're not personally liable for data protect breaches.
And that's your mistake right here. A limited liability structure never protected you against wilfully breaking the law, or being criminally negligent, not when it came to murder, and not when it came to data protection. Just ask any engineer who signed off on a design that later turned out to be insufficient according to specification.
Data protection criminal charges used to be levied against random people within the company - and now they are focussed on the data protection officer (who criminally neglectfully abandoned their function if there is a breach).
If you are still confused about this concept, before you do more in the business structure world, it might be a good idea to talk to a lawyer and make them explain the difference to you.
