  I also asked a much more encompassing question here: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=17196169 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=17196169 In a nutshell, if I buy VPN access to a European GDPR compliant provider, do I get the rights listed in the GDPR?

    You'd probably be treated by default as such because of the IP, but afaik it only applies to citizens so you probably wouldn't be able to sue if applicable. Or if you need to show ID for requesting your data to prove your identity (if they don't have an online, automated process, then that's quite standard).

    No, as you are not a EU resident. But websites might treat you as if GDPR applies to you.
