If you think about it: The GDPR applies to all data of EU citizens regardless of where they are or where you are. There is no way that this app is not having some EU guy in New York in it and therefore totally in violation of GDPR
No European law applies outside Europe. That's kind of the nature of laws.
Wrong. US citizen while in EU falls under GDPR. EU citizen while anywhere outside of EU falls under GDPR.
It is up to EU to enforce it.
That's kind of the nature of laws.
They can write whatever they like, but in practical terms, they can only enforce their laws inside their borders.
