The data of citizens of the European Union are subject worldwide to the European basic data protection regulation. Since the European Union is an important economic area in the world, many companies outside the EU do business within the European area. In this context, these companies process personal data of EU citizens. The processing takes place worldwide according to the so-called "market place principle".
More specifically, Article 3 (2) DSGVO and the Recital 23state that personal data of EU citizens processed outside the EU must be protected according to the rules of the GDPR. In fact, this means that non-European companies that process data of EU citizens outside the EU must also implement the GDPR.
Robin Data is available for non-European companies, representation according to Article 27 GDPR in Germany.

The implementation of the worldwide "gold standard" for data protection, the GDPR, is a clear competitive advantage.
