Such broader protection standards apply when the processing:

• is performed by an Owner based within the EU;
• concerns the Personal Data of Users who are in the EU and is related to the offering of paid or unpaid goods or services, to such Users;
• concerns the Personal Data of Users who are in the EU and allows the Owner to monitor such Users’ behavior taking place in the EU.
