Being on vacation in europe doesn't make you a resident

The EU says individuals, and I've always understood it to be anyone in the EU countries plus EU citizens anywhere.

> individuals in the EU

I don't think it applies to EU citizens overseas IMO. At least I haven't signed up for anything that asked if I was an EU citizen or not.

Would get really messy because there are lots of EU citizens out there that don't know it through jus sanguinis.

Meanwhile a lot of financial institutions do ask if you're a US citizen because it ups their reporting requirements.

Where does GDPR require you to be a resident? Tourists have plenty of rights, and I doubt their right to privacy is any less than anyone else’s once on the territory.
