They may though because of the difficulty of deciding if you are subject to GDPR. ie what if an Aussie moves to the EEU and becomes a resident, bringing an Australian-purchased phone? How long can someone visit the EEU before becoming a resident (I have no idea and suspect the rules may not be crystal clear.)
- dannyw 8y agoIf the origin of the traffic is within the EEU, GDPR applies. So the moment you visit the EEU, GDPR applies; irrespective of residency status. The moment you leave the EEU, GDPR no longer applies, even if you are an EU resident.
- lccarrasco 8y agoNo, the GDPR applies to any company that handles data of EU residents; You can read more about it in this FAQ: https://www.eugdpr.org/gdpr-faqs.html https://www.eugdpr.org/gdpr-faqs.html
