Who does GDPR apply to?

No matter where a company is based, if it’s dealing with the personal data of people in the EU, GDPR applies. This includes all sorts of organizations—businesses, charities, and even public authorities. And it doesn’t matter if the organization is outside the EU; if they’re offering services or tracking people in the EU, they need to follow GDPR rules. The regulation covers both data controllers (who decide why and how data is processed) and data processors (who handle the data for controllers), ensuring everyone involved in managing personal data is responsible for its protection.
