I'm not him, but I can try to answer you.

It applies to any businesses, professionals with a web page, and anyone who offers a service as long as they a) are located in Spain, b) target their services to the Spanish market or c) if they have a (permanent or regular) workplace or facilities in Spain.

(It's a translation from Spanish legalese, so probably the language is muddled, sorry.)

thanks. so by condition b that includes almost anyone on the internet!
It seems so, but I guess it'll be difficult to fine businesses without presence in Spain.
In practical terms I don't think the Spanish AEPD (institution for data protection) would actually sue any company not registered in Spain. Too complicated.
