Answer: An interesting question. In Article 4, definitions, in any moment the regulation mentions the type of media that contains the information. The definitions covers what is done with the information. So, in a broader sense, EU GDPR is applicable to physical data. You may note that when data is not on transit it is stored in some physical place, e.g., a server or a back up media, that must be protected properly.

2 - What eugdpr saya about channels like cloud, mobile??

Answer: EU GDPR does not make reference to specific technologies (when they are referred, the term used is only technology or technologies). Thus, for EU GDPR, it does not matter where information travels or by what means it is processed. If you deal with personal information from EU citizens, the EU GDPR applies.
