GDPR applies to companies doing business in EU. Pretty sure that Tinder has to follow EU rules given that they receive euros, albeit indirectly.

- Nextgrid 6y agoGDPR only matters if it's enforced. So far, even blatantly obvious breaches like what Facebook and Google are doing (with their analytics, non-compliant consent prompts, refusal to provide all data in response to subjects' access requests in the case of Facebook, etc) are yet to be punished so there's absolutely no reason for them to worry that a data protection agency is suddenly going to spend time & money examining a very narrow edge-case.
- sulam 6y agoI think you're using an overly broad interpretation of GDPR here. When Tinder/Match, which is a US company, processes the PII of US citizens, there is no federal law that is in effect. Of course if you live in CA you have CCPA to be concerned with, and Brazil now has a law as well, the LGPD.
