    If a site is registered in USA do you have a right to have your username anonymised as per GDPR.I searched and it seems you do if you are in Europe but i am not sure if you have to have bought something? Does it apply to an account on a discussion forum?

    Registered or hosted in USA?
    Either way GDPR applies to EU citizens.
    What do you mean by anonymised? What are you wanting done and what purpose was the data collected for?

    the site whois shows usa - is that regd or hosted.? By anonymise i mean like here they leave the posts but delete the name. They can delete the posts if they wish

    It was just a discussion site, like here but different subject. you could contribute to a thread or start one. no money or purchases

    GDPR applies to all websites available in the EU even if the company has no physical presence in the EU.
