OIC legal guidance p. 16, definition of data subject says:-
"A data subject need not be a United Kingdom national or resident. Provided
that the data controller is subject to the Act, rights with regard to
personal data are available to every data subject, whatever his nationality
or residence".

Subject: Re: Is this a transfer?
So, to be totally clear, let me give an example as a question.
Let us suppose that I hold data of Zimbabwean data subjects in the UK.
Zimbabwe is clearly not EEA.
If (without suitable registration etc) I transfer personal data of
Zimbabwean Data Subjects to a non EEA country that is not a safe haven, then
I commit an offence?
I would very much like a precise legal answer, ideally from one of our
legally qualified list members. (not intending to disparage any prior
answers)

Subject: Re: Is this a transfer?
I agree with Tim Wright. It is not a question of whether the data
subject is an EEA resident or not. It is a question of whether
you are transferring the data outside of the EEA or an"approved"
country. THis would be happening if the access is from such a
country.
The Act applies to any data subject wherever they may be in the
world if the actual data is held in the EEA. It is the data that
is important, not the data subject, for this aspect.
