Equifax is a global company headquartered in America that operates in 24 countries, including 3 where people are covered by GDPR: UK, Spain and Portugal[1].
They should be. Aside from operation in Europe eventually US legislative bodies will wake up and start passing laws to protect data. GPDR will be an obvious practical example to study, much as Obamacare was at least partly modeled experience in Massachusetts. I have no doubt that many tech companies have already put preventing this at the top of their DC lobbying agenda.
