@BritishTechGuru @dark_stang @frankrausch The test isn’t “operate”. Companies with an “establishment” (subsidiaries, agents etc) in the EEA are caught. Companies without an establishment in the EEA but offering goods or services to EEA data subjects are separately caught and are required to appoint an EU representative for enforcement/liaison with regulators. If you do not comply the fines are up to 4% of global turnover. Identical rules apply in the UK.

That would lead to an ineresting situation if I set up some online business and shipped a packet of cards to a Paris customer. Then I get a nasty message that the gendarms are after me for my non compliance.
When I eventually stopped laughing, I might even tell them to bring it on.
