Non-EU organizations that process personal data as data controllers or processors frequently ask whether they are subject to the General Data Protection Regulation (“GDPR”). The answer depends in part on the “territorial scope” provisions in Article 3 of the GDPR.

These commitments will be published in the U.S. Federal Register.
