So is Airbnb misinterpreting GDPR then? I’m pretty sure GDPR rules apply to EU citizens regardless of where they reside?

- SamWhited 8y agoThat was my understanding as well, but I'm not a lawyer of course. They also seem to be misinterpreting their own support pages which say accounts can be deleted and don't mention anything about GDPR or country of residence (https://www.airbnb.com/help/article/240/how-do-i-deactivate-or-delete-my-account https://www.airbnb.com/help/article/240/how-do-i-deactivate-...).
- who-knows95 8y agoyou are correct, they seem to misunderstand. GDPR comes into play, any time a EU citizens data is being processed, for storage or identification. if the server is in america, or France it doesn't matter. your data is protected by the GDPR policies.
- buboard 8y agono it applies when they are in the EU, or if the company that controls processes the data is in the EU.
