The UK is implementing GDPR in full in UK law.
This whole Brexit thing is sure working out well, isn't it?

The GDPR applies extraterritorially. If a company even stores a record of a single EU citizen, the GDPR applies to it, and the EU has the right to seize the assets of the company for the purpose of enforcing it.
I am curious about something. If you were to only offer your service in North America, but someone from the EU comes over to North America on vacation, and somehow becomes recorded in your service. Does the GDPR still apply in this case?

If such extraterritorial en…
You can try that, but every major bank will cooperate and simply freeze your accounts if ordered to do so.

For now that is certainly true, but as is obvious, we don't know yet which laws will be retained after Brexit, and with even such major things as the ECHR still undecided, I wouldn't put it past them to repeal this as well in the future.
