Equifax is an American company targeting US residents, they are not concerned by GDPR.

GPDR will be an obvious practical example to study, much as Obamacare was at least partly modeled experience in Massachusetts. I have no doubt that many tech companies have already put preventing this at the top of their DC lobbying agenda.
