Applicability of GDPR

We have very few customers in Europe and actually we wanted to know whether GDPR is applicable to us. We operate from India. We don't have any offices in Europe. Based on the applicability factor we would like to proceed further.

Answer:

The EU GDPR might be applicable to your company even if you are not located in the EU/EEA under the following circumstances defined in article 3 of the EU GDPR (https://advisera.com/eugdpracademy/gdpr/territorial-scope/) :

- Your company is offering goods or services to individuals in the Union. It refers to both free and paid goods and services; and
- Your company is monitoring the behavior of individuals in the EU/EEA. This refers to more intrusive activities such as tracking individuals across multiple sites or using Apps to track an individual’s location.

So, assess if these situations are applicable to your company and if the answer is yes this means that in relation to the EU/EAA processing activities you need to comply with the EU GDPR.
