if you get a letter because you violate the gdpr thing you have to pay. there is no 'it looks like you do something wrong. stop it or you will be fined'
then again the fine is based on yearly profit, if op is not a company the gdpr should not be a big problem. (but still could be)
The fines usually are a percent of revenue or millions of Euros, whichever is higher.
So if your revenue is 0 EUR then they can fine you the millions of Euros instead. The point of the “percent of revenue” alternative was for larger corporations that can get fined tens or hundreds of millions of Euros (or, as it happened to Meta, in some cases -- billions of Euros for a single GDPR violation).
