Now, I assume, that the wording of the law might only state that EU citizens are covered. So in Brexiting, UK citizens might end up, depending on the wording, being legally repsonsible to protect EU citizens, without being covered themselves.
Under the terms of the EU compact, the UK is creating a law based on GDPR as are all EU member countries. Unless repealed UK businesses will have to effectively comply with GDPR.

Hey, I was supporting you
You have been. It was more that @Danp was on topic. We've both followed @scottalanmiller into his overall derailment.

Exactly. And I doubt that they will repeal.

There is some thought that the US-EU Privacy Shield. might bring the GDPR to the US. But it is very unclear if this is true.

Hardly a derailment, it's the core of the conversation. Outside of the EU, how does the GDPR affect you? It's totally by what local laws (sometimes in the form of treaties) present it to you locally.

It worth noting that even if the US-EU Privacy Shield would have made the GDPR possible int he US, Executive Order 13768 may have removed it. The order appears to make the GDPR impossible to implement in the US without further action regardless of existing treaties.

It is the core of a conversation around GDPR, but not core to the question as asked. I'm not objecting to the conversation, finding it amusing how little time has been spent on the original question.

Well, I think digging into where it applies and where it doesn't is answering that in most cases. For most companies, knowing if it affects them or not is the primarily piece of preparation.
For those doing deep, intentional data processing of those resources it's way, way more complex. But that's likely to be a tiny minority of companies. Mostly, I think, that's going to fall to development departments rather than IT.

What I believe to be the intent around the GDPR really hits companies that are doing custom / bespoke applications for the data processing. Especially the US ones. EU companies aren't handing off to the US just for CPU power, but for local expertise or systems.
So the primary concerns are around database systems that can identify the points of privacy and having a means of purging them. Really, I think that having that alone covers most needs. Just the ability to "delete". Which previously, almost no one had.

The question was asking for resources that people are using for learning about GDPR. There are very few links to other resources other than ones I've (and now @Danp) provided.

Wow, a 13 minute "course". Lynda is setting the bar pretty low. I've spent way more time digging through materials. Even the course I linked above is several hours.

Yeah, I think anything "real" is going to be taught by lawyers and be pretty in depth. It's a painful topic.

That is part of what attracted me to the course I linked. It is being taught by faculty at the law school the University of Groningen.

I received a response from one of the lawyers who wrote a blog post warning US companies about the potential impacts of GDPR. I don't have his permission to post his response, so I will do my best to paraphrase.
GDPR will fall under cross-border assertions. What this means is that EU regulators will bring an action against a US company in the EU. While the US company could accept the jurisdiction of the EU court, it will most likely ignore it. In that case, once the regulator has a judgement from the EU court it will take the ruling to a US court and ask for it to be enforced by the US court. There is a whole body of law and set of expertise around when these get enforced, but it is likely (in his perspective) that US courts will enforce the judgement because of the desire to have the opposite (US judgements against EU citizens in the EU) to be upheld by EU courts.
He believes that because of the limitations that GDPR places upon its jurisdiction (EU citizens being provably targeted by a US company) that there is a strong potential that this will affect US (and any other non EU) companies.

So basically the US courts are expected to become ad hoc lawmakers picking and choosing when to "have" a law and when not to, at will, without any oversight from the government or the actual lawmakers?
This is one of the most unbelievable indictments of corruption in the US legal system. That's insane. Zero legal oversight, just courts doing absolutely anything that they want.

If this limitation is real and reasonable, but "targeted" is a useless term here. What does that mean or imply?

Goods or services (whether for sale or for free), that specifically attempt to market to EU citizens. An frequently cited example of this is when a site translates itself into the language of an EU member country when that language is not the native language of the originating country. The rest will probably have to be sorted out via case law.

You went from zero to 60 pretty fast on that one.
