Yes, as I understand it, that is correct. When you are in a country that is a member of the EU, your data held by companies is subject to the GDPR.

- lenocinor 8y agoDoesn't this mean that even a US company which explicitly verifies it only works with US citizens must still IP block all of Europe to comply? EDIT: A nasty surprise that might be, too, if it turns out there was important data via that service that you wanted to access abroad but couldn't.

- cmurf 8y agoIf I go on holiday to an EU country, which (Google) emails, chats, searches become subject to GDPR? All those sent/received only during that holiday?
