No, that is not the case as GDPR applies anywhere.

Thank you I was genuinely not aware.

That said, and please tell me if I am wrong, it is this VPNs choice to conduct things in such a way that would make them liable to have any kind of problem with the authorities since the norm asks them to report if “the providers become aware” which implies logging and analysis.

I am not sure there is any law asking them to do that, although there may well be.

I am in Italy, AirVPN is Italian, and every page of their site states that you cannot access their services if you’re an Italian resident.

Any idea why?
