GDPR is very clear in wording that it doesn’t matter whether company has offices in EU or not, only thing that matters is if company is providing services to EU citizens.
- icedchai 6y agoTriplebyte can just forward those fines to the circular file. There is no practical method of enforcement unless they have a physical EU presence.
- treis 6y agoThat's not correct. You can pursue damages outside of your jurisdiction through a process called "domestication". Generally speaking US courts will enforce judgements from other countries with a legitimate legal system.
- icedchai 6y agoSure, they "can." But has it ever happened with GDPR? My gut tells me they'll direct their efforts towards more critical matters.
