GDPR applies globally. If you handle EU citizens data, you must conform to it.

Of course you might not care, if you believe that the EU has no way of forcing you to pay a fine and if you are certain that you are never going to do any business in the EU. But in such case you might as well provide access to your models for EU IPs too. It makes no difference.

how can a law apply globally? Ignore the idea that EU can fine you, under what basis do laws of a country apply to actions outside the country?
