    Not a lawyer here, but from my naive understanding: HELL YEAH! I mean, it only works from Europe, but every company has to nominate a contract for GDPR inquiries. Once they received that inquiry, there is a mandated deadline. If they fail to comply, the data protection authority can fine a portion of their revenues (not profits). Please take my info with a grain of salt as I haven’t verified them, but that is how I understand our system.

      it only works from Europe.

      I’m pretty sure that technically, GDPR applies to all residents of the EU, but also to any EU citizen, regardless of where they reside.
