- wizzwizz4 4y agoThe GDPR actually only applies in the EU. You're probably thinking of the CCPA which applies worldwide.
- insanitybit 4y agoAh, yeah you're right, I got jumbled.
- zeeZ 4y agoThe GDPR applies to: 1. a company or entity which processes personal data as part of the activities of one of its branches established in the EU, regardless of where the data is processed; or 2. a company established outside the EU and is offering goods/services (paid or for free) or is monitoring the behaviour of individuals in the EU.
- wizzwizz4 4y agoYup! Something needs to be in the EU for the law to apply. It (sadly, imo) doesn't apply to EU citizens resident in, say, Texas.
