Any source for that?
GDPR only applies to companies having a branch in the EU or offering services targeted at EU citizens: https://commission.europa.eu/law/law-topic/data-protection/rules-business-and-organisations/application-regulation/who-does-data-protection-law-apply_en https://commission.europa.eu/law/law-topic/data-protection/r...
- ndr 10mo agoYou might have missed the second branch of that "or": > 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. If you serve traffic to the EU (like any website on the open web as originally intended) you fall into that.
