Which companies must comply with the GDPR?
The applicability of the GDPR to a non-EU organisation is determined by the so-called ‘targeting’ criterion. It examines the processing of personal data of data subjects in the EU, and whether the processing activities are related to the following:
- offering them goods or services (these may be free of charge), or
- monitoring their behaviour within the EU.
Find out exactly what this means in our guide on the applicability of the GDPR to companies outside the EU.
