Most e-services available for e-residents currently are business related, so entrepreneurs will benefit most from e-Residency.</SPAN></P><P><SPAN><STRONG>Your digital ID card may only be used in an electronic environment, and is not a valid form of identification outside of the internet.</STRONG> Although e-residents receive government-issued digi- ID’s similar to those of citizens, e-residency does not confer citizenship, tax residency, residence, or right of entry to Estonia or to the European Union. Your e-Residency digi-ID card cannot be used as physical identification or as a travel document.</SPAN></P></DIV> Mon, 09 Oct 2023 08:22:11 GMT https://community.isc2.org/t5/Privacy/Estonia-E-Residency-and-GDPR/m-p/4120#M152 jasonlau88 2023-10-09T08:22:11Z https://community.isc2.org/t5/Privacy/Estonia-E-Residency-and-GDPR/m-p/4122#M153 <P>Hi</P><P>&nbsp;</P><P>I'm sorry, but I don't think it would work.</P><P>&nbsp;</P><P>Be careful, that the GDPR does not speak of EU residents but of "data subjects who are in the Union".</P><P>Since the e-residency will not teleport you to EU grounds, it would be difficult to require GDPR compliant treatment.</P><P>&nbsp;</P><P>However what I'm seeing is that some companies are not (too) willing to maintains several privacy standard and will implement GDPR in their global policies.
