New York lawyers who do business in France do.
If you're accepting ~dollars~ euros to place French ads on your pages targeting French customers, seems reasonable to know the relevant French regulations.
- freeone3000 9y agoIt's a bit more strict than that. If I have customers in France, this affects me, no matter how many, no matter if it's one dude in Florida who happens to also be French. The reach is absurd.
- jopsen 9y agoIs the reach more absurd than what US court claim?
- s73v3r_ 9y ago"no matter if it's one dude in Florida who happens to also be French." That's not true.
- ncallaway 9y agoIs he a French citizen? My understanding is that GDPR applies to you (in theory) if you have any EU citizens as customers. Am I misunderstanding? Why is this incorrect?
- icebraining 9y agoYes, that's incorrect, unless you are an EU business yourself. If not, you are only subject if your customers are in the EU. And more, "the mere accessibility of the controller’s, processor’s or an intermediary’s website in the Union, of an email address or of other contact details, or the use of a language generally used in the third country where the controller is established" is not enough to show that you're targeting customers in the EU. https://gdpr-info.eu/recitals/no-23/ https://gdpr-info.eu/recitals/no-23/
- ncallaway 9y agoThanks for that reference! Really helpful.
- wyager 9y agoYou don’t need to make money off Europeans to be targeted by the GDPR - you just need to have data about Europeans.
- aeorgnoieang 9y agoThat's pretty disingenuous as it seems impossible to "make money off Europeans" without having any data about them.
