Correct me if I am wrong, but I believe this was meant to mean a technically more tricky problem.
If it was citizens I could see a case being made that protection implementation could be based on the inputted address that is required for billing or shipping. If it's solely based on if you're physically in a country, then you need to determine in your app if the user is currently in an eu country or not. Which to me at least is more technically difficult, than just going off of a user entered address.
- chrismcb 3y agoTypically things like this go off the IP address. And while it is more difficult than going off of an inputted address, it isn't that difficult. But it is also what you need to do. As an American, if I travel to Europe I'm protected by gdpr laws (and one reason why I get spamed by the "accept cookie" popups even from sites I normally visit it have a US address associated.
