As we have mentioned in other articles on GDPR compliance, GDPR specifically prohibits the automated profiling of individuals, including of their online identifiers or locations, which means that it is a violation of GDPR to note, in an automated fashion, from what region in the world they are surfing over to your website.
GDPR (the EU General Data Protection Regulation) requires, among many other things, that there be a contract between any data controller and data processor that covers "the subject-matter and duration of the processing, the nature and purpose of the processing, the type of personal data and categories of data subjects and the obligations and rights of the controller."

That is the subject of this article.

GDPR applies to any business that collects any personal information data about individuals. Personally identifiable data includes things from which identity can be derived, such as, for example, an IP address.
