> Since the Ireland office is in the EU, it is subject to the GDPR. So that means that everybody outside of the US will be covered by the GDPR Can someone explain this as my understanding is that only EU residents are covered by GDPR. So EU based companies do not have to comply with GDPR for non EU residents. So this change to the user terms seems to me to have nothing to do with GDPR. The EU privacy law cannot be applied to non EU residents.
