The issue

GDPR can apply to non-EU businesses offering goods or services to people in the EU or monitoring their behaviour. Website accessibility alone does not settle the assessment.

What to prepare

Official and primary sources

General information, not advice on an individual case. Sources consulted on 22 October 2026: check updates before acting. The overall portal review is ongoing. This note does not certify a complete check of every page.
