Abstract

The approval of the General Data Protection Regulation in 2016 by the European Parliament represents the most innovative law worldwide concerning Personal Data Protection. Moreover, the European law has also revealed itself strongly disruptive on its territorial scope, addressing the possibility of application outward its borders. Thereby, the present paper aimed at analysing how the GDPR’s territorial scope complies with the principles of international jurisdiction. By means of the detailed comprehension of article 3 and its main concepts, and the exposition of standards of international jurisdiction in effect nowadays, this paper examined where the GRPR is legally grounded.
