*Legally*, of course they can. GDPR is a set of European Union regulations. They say what they say. It's a separate question whether, when, and how the European Union and its member countries enforce GDPR. For your hypothetical bed and breakfast in Florida there's probably not much the European Union can immediately do if there's a GDPR violation. However, the B&B's proprietors might want to avoid visiting the EU. :-) Practically every country demands that other countries (and the entities within them) treat its citizens according to certain minimum standards. GDPR will soon become part of the minimum standards that EU countries demand. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Timothy Sipples IT Architect Executive, Industry Solutions, IBM z Systems, AP/GCG/MEA E-Mail: [email protected] ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
