I’m sure in some countries that would make them liable. It’s a shame the US probably isn’t one of them, our litigative culture would put an end to that stupidity very quickly.

Just fill out the forms on your next trip to Europe?

  Being on vacation in europe doesn't make you a resident

    Where does GDPR require you to be a resident? Tourists have plenty of rights, and I doubt their right to privacy is any less than anyone else’s once on the territory.

    The EU says individuals, and I've always understood it to be anyone in the EU countries plus EU citizens anywhere. https://ec.europa.eu/info/law/law-topic/data-protection/reform/rules-business-and-organisations/application-regulation/who-does-data-protection-law-apply_en https://ec.europa.eu/info/law/law-topic/data-protection/refo...

      > individuals in the EU I don't think it applies to EU citizens overseas IMO. At least I haven't signed up for anything that asked if I was an EU citizen or not. Would get really messy because there are lots of EU citizens out there that don't know it through jus sanguinis. Meanwhile a lot of financial institutions do ask if you're a US citizen because it ups their reporting requirements.
