GDPR applies whenever you're providing services to EU citizens, regardless of where you have operations. If you want those people to read your stuff, it applies to you.

And before you say that's crazy, look at US tax laws.

> GDPR applies whenever you're providing services to EU citizens

That's a common misconception. GDPR applies to the data of people "in the Union". There is no mention of citizens at all in GDPR.

If someone is not an EU citizen but is in the Union, it applies.

If someone is an EU citizen but is not in the Union, it does not apply.
