We (OpenEuphoria) don't target data subjects in the EU, so the GDPR does not apply to us.
Every single security and legal expert in the world seems to think otherwise. If we currently (or even have the potential to), have a member of this site who resides in the EU, it applies.
A Practical Guide for GDPR Compliance Osterman Research said...
The new GDPR is important, for several reasons:
- It almost certainly applies to you. If your organization controls or processes data on people living in the European Union – even if your organization is not located in the EU – it applies.
- It has a significant bite, in the form of sky-high regulatory fines for non-compliance. If you meet the test of applicability for the GDPR, you cannot opt out of complying.
- It touches every data process in organizations that collects or processes personal data on people, and it covers both direct and indirect data identifiers in every data system
That list goes on. Please do some more research before dismissing this out of hand. That PDF I linked to is very informative.
