Earlier quoted context omitted.
That's clever by google. Because if a german citizen uses european google services, he is GDPR protected no matter where he is. That switch made im a EU citizens living abroad using non-EU services, so no GDPR protection. Coincidence?
Again, the GDPR applies to EU residents , not citizens . A German citizen in the US isn't protected by the GDPR. Technically, it doesn't even apply to citizens, but to countries that the company markets to. The link explains all this.
> Again, the GDPR applies to EU residents, not citizens.
But what's a "resident"? That means where you live, not where you're temporarily staying.
> A German citizen in the US isn't protected by the GDPR.
If he's just visiting the US he's still a resident of Germany, AFAICS.
