You donβt have to be in the EU to make a GDPR request, right? If I understand correctly, they canβt actually check.
They do know which country you're from unless you use a VPN all the time, tho I personally wouldn't lie (fake my IP) for something as serious as this.
They would know what country Iβm currently in, but I could still be an EU citizen using a VPN or traveling outside the EU. IANAL, but Iβm pretty sure my data would still be protected by GDPR.
Granted, I am not, but the request worked anyway lol
They could check, but that's more expensive than just compying
