Isn't the key operating word here business?
With no advertising on the line and no operations currently in place operating at anything but a loss there isn't a commercial interest at stake.
Nope, GDPR does not limit itself on businesses. It applies to all data collection.
Governments also have to comply with GDPR. They also have no commercial interest in the personal data.
