"When the regulation does not apply

Your company is service provider based outside the EU. It provides services
to customers outside the EU.  Its clients can use its services when they travel
to other countries, including within the EU. Provided your company  doesn't
specifically target its services at individuals in the EU, it is not subject to
the rules of the GDPR.”

Now here's the big question - a *lot* of companies are targeting "anybody with
a freemail account like GMail and a valid Visa or Mastercard card" or similar
business models - does that count as "specifically targeting at EU", or not?
