If you give away free gifts, does that make people your customers?

I'm Indian, so take what I say with a pinch of salt: but as I understand it, GDPR is not just for EU-based companies to follow, it's for any companies that store/process data on EU nationals/residents.

AIUI, it's for any company that has any business presence in the EU. The catch is - if you have a web site accessible from the EU, it is counted as having a "business presence".
That is why sites such as CP (based only in Canada) had to comply with GDPR.
The question is - does distribution of gifts/lumps of coal count as "having a business presence"?

Well ... he's not a Registered Charity, and he isn't a Political Party or Pressure Group, and his gifts have value, and so he must have some form of revenue stream. So he's a business. Either that or he's handling stolen goods and / or money laundering ...

Hmmm. It's Article 12[^], not 4, isn't it?

Hello Codeprojectians!
Anybody have any info as to what the going rate would be for a lead .Net developer in Gothe`nburg, Sweden? Or, for that matter, any stories, positive or negative, about working in Sweden?
One morning I shot an elephant in my pajamas. How he got in my pajamas, I don't know.

Great country, lovely friendly people, good food. And everyone speaks better English than most Brits.

|

Nah, only those who have moved from Denmark to Sweden... 
The rest, well...[^]

According to statistics from the biggest union here in Sweden, the developer salaries lie somewhere between £3000 and £5000 per month (if I have converted the sums correctly according to the current exchange rate). Then it depends on your experience and responsibility of course.
A senior lead developer would be closer to the high end of the scale.
Hope this helps.

A senior lead could definitely be higher than that.

Well, I've only programmed for 40 years, and I'm definitely not over the top here... May have sold my sold to the devil too cheap! 
Haven't got any project leading responsibilities, though, which may be the explanation. Or the fact that I'm in Stockholm, not Gothenburg

Questioner:
Hi am developing RFID Writer in C# but i do not know how to start developing
Me:
Take a class.
Questioner:
where ??
Me:
I always though everyone in India was going to school to learn to be a developer - or a call center person.
Questioner:
Actually I dont have not much time to learn if there is any online course please suggest me .
Me:
If you "don't have not much time to learn", your career as a programmer will be short and chock full of disappointment. Good luck in whatever vocation you choose next.

Well, according to U.S. TV advertisements, if you sleep at a Holiday Inn Express, you can be a brain surgeon; no online courses required.

22% live in poverty, which in India is set to $1.25/day (adjusted for purchase parity). At least that same percentage of people are technically above poverty, but still super-poor by world standards. So, yeah, not everyone's in a call center.

Is this due to the caste system there, or other socio-economic factors?

Multiple socio-economic factors, historically poor (talking centuries here, not decades), being under hostile foreign rule until recently, etc. The caste system is a whole other issue, but it is not the main reason for all the poverty, in my opinion.
