In the few decades after the internet was commercialized, technology has transformed how we live and work. We ask Google personal questions, read Fox or CNN, send private messages through Facebook, and buy private personal effects on Amazon – these actions say a lot about us. And all of this data is stored, mined, and sometimes traded, with consumers having little control over the process. 

Increasingly frequently, that data is being lost or misused. The Equifax data breach demonstrates that even the largest companies holding the most sensitive data can lack the basic safeguards necessary to protect us. Meanwhile, social networks and search engines mine and monetize us through our data in ways we don’t know. These are real and growing problems that GDPR aims to address. 

GDPR applies to you if you meet any of the following conditions: 

• You have customers in the EU 
• You provide services to (paid or free) to EU citizens 
• You market to EU citizens 
• You monitor the activities of EU citizens 

If you are outside the EU and run an exclusively local business, you don’t have to worry about GDPR. A flower shop in rural Ohio is unlikely to face the burden of complying, even if someone from the EU stops by your website and is captured by your analytics software. 

It’s not your company’s size, but if EU residents could be seen as part of your target market, that determines your need to comply with GDPR. That means a small SEO company that accepts business internationally is still bound by GDPR.
