    Do you have to prove to them that you don’t live in the EU or in California for them to comply with the law?
    I mean if they don’t require an address I would just go with the process for them to comply as if you did live in an area with data privacy laws.

      Hmm… Now I want someone from the US to send a GDPR request to see how much time they will actually spend determining location.

        I sent one to get my history. Took them like a month to send it. I’m in the midwestern US and they never asked me or said anything about it. I imagine it’s different for a more exciting gdpr request (I assume there are other requests).

      They never asked me for confirmation, but then again after 12 years my account was probably flagged with correct address anyway.
