How does this affect people who aren't based in Europe?

>>maxk42+C
How do you check if someone is an EU resident?

>>merino+21
Geolocation, IP Lookup etc. You generally shouldn't care whether they're a resident in the EU, but just whether they are in EU or not. Remember GDPR doesn't cover any citizens from EU who aren't in EU.

I read that GDPR applies to EU residents. That means someone who is EU resident non necessarily could be browsing from the EU. For example when on holidays.

>>merino+v5
Yes, but you cannot check whether a person is a resident unless you explicitly ask them. There are no "public" API.

It's much easier and safer to just assume someone who's in Europe is a resident, rather than figuring out if they really are.

GDPR only applies to EU residents, yes, but not if they're on ex. holiday outside of EU.

Say, a EU citizen is on holiday in The U.S.

In such case the EU citizen is not protected by GDPR.

>>baussh+Oe
But this is only your assumption and not a fact. Person on holiday is still EU resident and enjoys protection of GDPR. Do you have a source that says that GDPR doesn't apply to IP outside of EU?

>>merino+2Q
It's not by my assumption. I work with GDPR implementations. Read the GDPR yourself if you want a source.
