Here’s the thing—if you’re collecting someone’s email, phone number, or even tracking how they browse your site, you’re holding their personal data. Now, if that person happens to live in the EU, the way you collect, use, or even just store that info matters—a lot.
Enter GDPR. It stands for the General Data Protection Regulation, but don’t let the legal-sounding name fool you. What it really does is put people back in charge of their own data. You know how annoying it is when companies bombard you with stuff you never signed up for? GDPR is the EU’s way of saying, “Yeah, that needs to stop.”
And this isn’t just for European businesses. If someone from Paris visits your site and signs up for something? That counts. So yeah—GDPR compliance applies to you, even if your office is thousands of miles away.
Now, let’s be real—it’s a bit of a beast. It talks about things like data minimization, lawful processing, and gives users rights like the right to be forgotten. That one basically means: “Hey, I don’t want you to have my data anymore—delete it.” And legally, you’ve got to listen.
But at its core, GDPR isn’t out to ruin your life or make business harder. It’s just asking: do you know what data you’re collecting, why you’re collecting it, and are you being straight with people about it?
If the answer’s a shrug, you’ve got work to do. But honestly? Doing it right means fewer headaches down the road—and more trust from the people you actually want using your product.
Because in a world where data leaks make headlines, treating personal info with care isn’t just a legal thing—it’s a business thing.

If you collect data from anyone in the EU—even just a newsletter signup—you fall under GDPR. It’s not about where your company is located. It’s about who you’re collecting from. So yes, GDPR compliance still applies, even if you’re based elsewhere.
Think of GDPR data protection as a mix of legal accountability and technical safeguards. It's not just about firewalls—it’s about limiting who sees data, how long you keep it, and making sure people know what you’re doing with it.
It means people can ask you to delete their info. No questions asked. If the data’s no longer needed or they withdraw consent, you’re expected to erase it. We help you set up a simple system for this—no legal drama, no lost time.
You need a lawful basis (or legal reason) to collect someone’s data. It could be consent, a contract, or even a legal obligation. But you can’t just guess—you have to document it. We’ll walk you through each one and help you map it out for your business.
If you’re asking that, probably. GDPR is big on data minimisation—take only what you need, and don’t keep it longer than necessary. We’ll help you clean up those bloated forms and remove fields that could be putting you at risk.
It’s both. A good GDPR compliance setup includes documentation and solid tech hygiene. That means clear consent flows, smart access controls, and breach alerts. It’s why our team works with both legal and IT.
Not always. But if you're handling sensitive data at scale, it’s smart to have someone own the process. Whether or not you need a formal Data Protection Officer, we’ll help you decide—and support the role if you do.
Depends on your starting point. For some companies, it’s a few weeks. Others take longer if data flows are complex or teams are stretched. We don’t drag it out—you’ll know what’s needed from day one.
Think of it like fixing a messy storage room. You start by opening every drawer — that’s the GDPR audit. We look at what kind of data you’re collecting, who touches it, and whether you even need all of it.
Next, we clean it up: remove what’s unnecessary, put proper locks on the important stuff, and label everything clearly — that’s your step-by-step GDPR compliance process. It’s not an overnight thing, but with the right guide, it’s manageable. We help you handle each part without turning it into a paperwork marathon.
Absolutely. GDPR doesn’t care how big or small your business is. If you’re collecting personal data from anyone in the EU — even just an email address — you’re in.
A lot of small businesses assume they’re too small to be on the radar, but that’s a risky bet. The good news? You don’t need a legal team or enterprise budget to sort this out. We’ve helped early-stage startups and solo founders get GDPR-ready without burning out. It’s totally doable — just needs the right approach.
Definitely — and not just copy-paste templates either. You’ll get a full set of usable, customizable GDPR documentation templates — stuff like privacy notices, DSAR response logs, breach notifications, and consent records.
