The gdpr applies to anyone or any company inside the European Union. It does not apply only to citizens of the EU, and does not apply to them in dealings with foreign companies _while abroad_.
The main exception is companies abroad who specifically make an effort to deal with those in the EU. This is why companies have begun blocking eu traffic as it's not clear exactly what that means. The recitals and most other interpretations lead one to believe you would need to specifically advertise or otherwise target those in the EU, but again, it hasn't been hashed out in court.
- zimpenfish 8y ago> does not apply to them in dealings with foreign companies _while abroad_ Of course, if you're defining "foreign companies" as "companies who have no dealings with EU citizens", the GDPR doesn't apply. > The gdpr applies to anyone or any company inside the European Union. I believe this should be "anyone or any company which has dealings with anyone inside the European Union", no? Which is quite the difference.
- jimktrains2 8y ago> anyone or any company which has dealings with anyone inside the European Union That is incorrect and was the subject of the last paragraph of my previous message.
