I bet the fraud examiner is wishing they had a magic 'GDPR Deflector Shield' right about now. Good luck with that investigation!

I know, GDPR can be tricky to navigate when dealing with cross-border data transfers.

Hmm, I'm not sure about this one. Isn't there some kind of agreement between Mexico and the EU on data protection? Better double-check the details before answering.

I think it's true because the GDPR applies to anyone handling data of EU residents, regardless of where they are located.

B) False. The GDPR only applies within the EU, so the fraud examiner in Mexico doesn't have to follow those rules. Easy peasy!

Wait, isn't Mexico not part of the EU? How does GDPR apply there? This is confusing...

That's right, the GDPR has extraterritorial reach, so the fraud examiner would still need to comply with it when collecting personal information from an EU country like Germany.

Yes, even though Mexico is not part of the EU, the GDPR applies to any organization that processes personal data of individuals in the EU.

Of course the fraud examiner needs to comply with GDPR! Just because the examiner is in Mexico doesn't mean they can ignore EU regulations when handling data from Germany.

I'm not sure about this. Can someone explain why the GDPR would apply in this situation?

I agree with Lezlie. The GDPR applies to any organization processing personal data of individuals in the EU, regardless of where the organization is based.
