GDPR though only works if you reside in UK right? CA also has CCPA where you can request and they should honor. However, to my knowledge CCPA does not have as much teeth as GDPR laws? Feel free to correct me if I'm wrong
-
GDPR exists in the entire EU
-
And the UK because it predates Brexit.
-
And it applies to EU citizens living abroad, so even if you're not one, submitting a request can work.
-
I tried it once with Reddit a long time ago and they never asked me to verify I was from the EU, they just told me that the data would auto be deleted after x amount of days.
Not sure if it still applies as AI is hungry for all that data now.
-
And also applies to non-EU citizens in the EU.
-
I visited the EU once - can I join in?
-
If your data is being processed in the EU, it is protected by GDPR even if you're not a European citizen and not currently in the EU.

Thank you! Thats right. EU

GDPR is an EU regulation, so it works if you're living in the EU. It also works in the UK because it predates Brexit.
-
It also applies to Europeans living outside of the EU. Rather than ask for verification that you’re living abroad, most companies will just assume it applies to you and agree to delete it.

Gpdr effects any company that deals with European individuals/data on Europeans regardless of where the company is incorporated.
-
Yeah, that's how it was advertised, but that's not really true.
GDPR affects any company with assets accessible to EU regulators. It does not affect companies that have no business presence within the EU.
A Chinese (Or Brazilian, or American, or any non-European) company that has no physical location or bank account in Europe is still accessible to European citizens. That company can still serve European customers. But European regulators have no means of enforcing the GDPR against that company; the European citizen is not protected by the GDPR from such a company.
-
Theoretically it also requires any company which is subject to GDPR not to send any data to third parties who aren't, but I honestly don't know how well enforced that is

Not in UK as GDPR is an EU regulation.
-
Still applicable in the UK. It was adopted prior to brexit.
-
Wasn't the point of Brexit to get rid of those pesky EU regulations?
-
No the point was politicians using xenophobia to get support for themselves, and they accidentally went too far and managed to leave the EU while doing it.
-
That was one of thr 'publicly perceived' points of Brexit and GDPR was either deemed useful enough too keep or, like most things, would take too much effort for the powers that be to get rid of.
