GDPR does affect businesses in the United States. If the business employs EU citizens, if it has any EU citizens’ personal data in its customer and marketing databases, or if it sells products or services to EU citizens, then the business must comply with GDPR.
Any entity considered to be a Controller or Processor (or both) is affected by the full scope of GDPR. Business process outsourcers (BPO) or managed service providers (MSP) that processes any information involving EU citizens, either for their own purpose or on behalf of the client they serve, are fully responsible for complying with GDPR regulations.
There now exists a Privacy Shield Framework between the US and EU, because the EU views US privacy law as being inadequate, especially the US Safe Harbor process. The PSF has produced stringent controls that must be met and verified. The US Department of Commerce is the body for sanctioning/fining US businesses that violate EU privacy data law.
