>If you were in Texas when that data was collected from you, and you returned to the EU, I doubt that GDPR would apply to that data.

Afaik GDPR covers EU citizens traveling abroad, as well as non-EU citizens in the EU.

Edit: It does not cover EU citizens traveling abroad, see thread below.

Afaik GDPR does not cover EU citizens (or residents) travelling outside the EU, but of course there is no harm for companies acting like it does.

But as far as I understand, it applies to UK citizens which are traveling in the EU, because they are located in the EU:

I have looked around a bit, and apparently GDPR applies to:

- People in the EU

- Any data being processed in the EU, regardless of where the person is located
