I'm a traveler, just because I'm not coming from EU IP address range, doesn't mean I'm not EU citizen with rights established by EU.

- zerostar07 8y agothats in general false, you cant claim legal protections in every territory on earth and beyond.
- Silhouette 8y agoThe GDPR's scope is based on geography, not citizenship. If you're an EU citizen currently in the US, you do not necessarily enjoy whatever rights and protections the GDPR might offer you if you were within the EU. If you're a US citizen currently in the EU, you do enjoy those protections.
- MaikuMori 8y agoHmm, that's interesting, I was convinced it's based on citizenship.
- Silhouette 8y agoIt's a common misconception, and has been widely reported even in the mainstream media. FYI it's Article 3 of the GDPR that specifies the territorial scope authoritatively. Fun fact: The word "citizen" doesn't actually appear in the GDPR at all.
