How about some facts, or well, FAQ's[0]:
>Who does the GDPR affect?
The GDPR not only applies to organisations located within the EU but it will also apply to organisations located outside of the EU if they offer goods or services to, or monitor the behaviour of, EU data subjects. It applies to all companies processing and holding the personal data of data subjects residing in the European Union, regardless of the company’s location.
Emphasis, mine.

- BeeOnRope 9y agoYup, you are right. EU citizens don't get the benefits of the GDPR if they are outside the union. So all of this "will they make you upload your passport?" stuff seems to be mostly nonsense since it apparently has nothing to do with citizenship.
- 24gttghh 9y agoWell it seems like being covered as a "natural person" would mean you need to be a resident and a citizen of a given EU member state?
- BeeOnRope 9y agoWell IANAL but the couple of summaries I read on this specific issue (who is covered) seemed to take the position that EU-resident non-citizens would be covered, including perhaps even just travelers and other people passing through. I admit to not having looked into it in depth, however.
