I have clients in the U.S. asking about this...
But after reading up on it I'm becoming convinced it only applies to companies actively marketing themselves to do business in the EU. Is that peoples' understanding as well?
- Yeah - companies trading to or having assets located in the EU, primarily.detritus
- tbh, I think a lot of the panic is totally overwrought and should only really be felt by nefarious cunts knowingly doing nasty things with people's datadetritus
- A U.S. client who runs a decent sized online business was under the impression that simply getting traffic from EU citizens would make them liable for this.yuekit
- But that can't possibly be right, can it? That would be ridiculous.yuekit
- If you're running a website in the US and have website visitors from the EU, the GDPR absolutely applies to you.mort_
- mort, read the article I posted which goes through the actual text of the law. I don't think it applies to that, in spite of what you may have been told.yuekit
- Or maybe not (see shoes' comment below)...who knows lol.yuekit
