Boilerplate reference GDPR

Below are excerpts from a lawyers blog, which I copy here to indicate my awareness of and concern for the "EU General Data Protection Regulation". I actually have a poor sense of what is going on. If any reader thinks I may be collecting data on them. I am not. But who knows what Google is up to.

"This is a GDPR ..
As you may be aware, on 25 May 2018 the EU General Data Protection Regulation EU (2016)/679 (GDPR) comes into force in all EU member states. The GDPR applies to ‘personal data’ meaning any information relating to an identifiable person who can be directly or indirectly identified by reference to an identifier. It requires that personal data be processed lawfully, fairly and in a transparent manner, and that personal data be collected for specified and legitimate purposes.
..... Google may collect and/or process your data in these circumstances. If you have any concerns regarding Google’s use of your personal data following use of these tools, you may read Google’s policy  here and here.  Google’s Privacy Policy may also be found by searching for the Google Privacy Policy ."
