🇪🇺 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)

Slack App — Specific Considerations

Slack apps (bots, integrations, and workflows) have access to workspace messages, files, and user data within the Slack workspace where they're installed. Slack's API scopes control what data your app can access, but workspace administrators and users must know what your app reads and stores. The Slack App Directory requires a privacy policy and imposes strict data handling requirements, especially for apps that access message content.

Data typically collected by Slack App businesses: Slack workspace member names and emails, message content accessed via API scopes, file and attachment data, channel membership and metadata, user profile data, event subscription data

• Slack API scope disclosure (what messages/data the app reads)
• Workspace administrator consent and user notification
• Message content retention and deletion policy
• Slack App Directory compliance requirements
• OAuth token security and revocation handling
