Perhaps you should go read the thing, you might be positively surprised. The first thing you want is there, the second is a more complicated question. Sometimes some of your data is actually really needed, e.g. when required by the law. GDPR is a compromise: you have to state explicitly where the data is going and you better keep it safe, under the threat of a possibly hefty penalty.

This ^ is a shortened simplified statement. You can argue semantics or maybe that I'm just flat out wrong if you wish, but that'll mean you read the GDPR, a win in itself.
