🇪🇺 Key GDPR Requirements

The GDPR (General Data Protection Regulation) is the world's most comprehensive data privacy law, applying to any organization that processes data of EU residents — regardless of where the organization is based. Non-compliance can result in fines of up to €20 million or 4% of annual global turnover, whichever is higher.

• Lawful basis for processing must be identified and documented (consent, contract, legitimate interest, etc.)
• Privacy by design and default must be embedded in your systems
• Data subjects have the right to access, rectify, erase, and port their data
• Data breaches must be reported to supervisory authorities within 72 hours
• A Data Protection Officer (DPO) is required for large-scale processing of sensitive data
• Data Processing Agreements (DPAs) required with all third-party processors
• International transfers outside the EEA require specific safeguards (SCCs, adequacy decisions)
