That's strange - so it doesn't protect the data EU citizens give out when using free services?

- the_mitsuhiko 9y agoIt does in most situations. For instance Facebook is free but Facebook still sells into the European markets and through that it triggers. Through either VAT registrations, B2B sales or any PE registration GDPR becomes a requirement.
- majewsky 9y agoSo, to clarify, if I self-host services (e.g. XMPP or mail or Git repos) and I give user accounts to my friends (whom, like me, live in the EU) for free, I'm not subject to GDPR because I'm not a business?
- the_mitsuhiko 9y agoIf you do it in the EU you are. If you have no relationship with the EU then not.
