In the context of the GDPR, a natural person is an individual who is a resident of the EU or the European Economic Area (EEA).  The GDPR applies to processing personal data by controllers and processors in the EU. This is true regardless of whether the processing takes place in the EU.  It also applies to the processing of personal data of natural persons by a controller or processor not established in the EU, but only if the processing activities relate to the offering of goods or services to natural persons in the EU or the monitoring of their behaviour.  In other words, the GDPR applies to the personal data of individuals who are residents of the EU and EEA.
