- BlackFly 8y agoGDPR applies to data processors in the EU or for data subjects in the EU. Citizenship is irrelevant.
- dejv 8y agoIt might be not. But those falls into weird space and we will see how things are going to be played out in practice. I still think they have to conform GDPR, especially having prior data on EU users and involvement of parent company.
- jkaplowitz 8y agoThere are many unclear things in the GDPR, but the relevance of citizenship is not among them: Nothing in the text of the GDPR or any official guidance mentions citizenship or nationality. The only sources which do mention those are informal and imprecise third-party summaries. But yes, this mistake has been spread widely. The more precise compliance guides from, say, European law firms don't mention citizenship or nationality either.
