GDPR has what is called extra-territorial applicability.
- stryk 9y agoIt may, but they'll play hell trying to enforce it worldwide, as if any countries would let them (some may).
- laingc 9y agoIf it’s outside their jurisdiction, they can claim whatever applicability they like: the law is simply not enforceable outside that jurisdiction.
- T-Winsnes 9y agoTechnically yes, laws only apply within sovereign borders, but this is where trade agreements come into effect. EU is a big enough market that most countries will likely agree to uphold the rules for European citizens. It has been a big focus for online retail in Australia lately, and for good reason.
- dragonwriter 9y agoThe law can be enforced against people who are, or have assets, within the jurisdiction, whether or not the alleged violation occurred there.
- nraynaud 9y agoYou can also have some very weird legal definition of a nexus, like this bank that allegedly opened a nexus in the US because they used US dollars for a transaction between two non-Us countries. And there is also the case that the US army just land in your country and arrest anyone they could not kill.
- dragonwriter 9y ago> And there is also the case that the US army just land in your country and arrest anyone they could not kill. Unlikely; its a lot easier to kill people than arrest them, especially if you are the US army, which is optimized for the former over the latter.
