Well yes, but actually no. Greenland is part of Denmark, which is in the EU, but Greenland is not in the EU.

But the Data Protection Authority is the same and they have quite similar laws, most likely completely compliant with EU regulations. Both because cultural connections as well as them wanting to position themselves as a location for internet infrastructure.
Countries like Iceland straight-up implement GDPR because EEA. I’d say both could easily be convinced to become EU members by reforming the fisheries policy into something sane, both when it comes to size of quotas (the EU could pull an order of magnitude more fish out of the water if we’d let stocks recover to the levels from 100 years ago) and distribution of quotas – coasts should be considered (more) like mineral deposits: We’re not getting any Austrian silver either why are they getting our fish, if they want to fish they can buy quotas from a coastal state.
