According to Article 3 GDPR - Territorial scope, para 2, GDPR applies to non-EU companies that offer goods or services to people in the EU or that monitor behavior of people from EU. In your case, based on your description, this doesn’t happen, so GDPR doesn’t apply to your company. However, due to the fact that many companies work with partners from EU, and due to the fact that many privacy laws start to resemble GDPR, I recommend you to consult our resources related to GDPR-compliance, including free trainings, detailed below.
