  • Does anyone know which country Monica comes from? If Europe, does that contravene GDPR more than if she is non-EU? Commented Oct 16, 2019 at 19:06

    @marcellothearcane Monicas own profile specifies an US city as location, so I fear the GDPR is irrelevant here (of course location is not citizenship etc., but still unlikely that it applies to her) ... and half offtopic, but apparently Brexit is close, and their privacy person is still someone in London...

    Brexit may be close or years away, but the offense preceded it so Brexit doesn't block that particular case.

    @deviantfan: No, GDPR can still apply to non-EU residents. And Brexit is irrelevant to this case.

  • @smci The article links to a reason that is a recital, not the actual laws scope. See article 3 and 2 of the normative text itself. As natural person without any relation to the EU (citizenship and/or residence), it does not apply.. Monica says residence is US, and I assumed citizenship is the same (as written above)
