The General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) is the European Union's comprehensive data protection and privacy regulation that has become the global benchmark for privacy law. It applies to any organisation that processes personal data of EU residents, regardless of where the organisation is based — making it the most far-reaching privacy regulation in existence. GDPR's six data processing principles — lawfulness, fairness, transparency, purpose limitation, data minimisation, accuracy, storage limitation, integrity and confidentiality, and accountability — create a framework that demands privacy be engineered into systems, not added as an afterthought. Fines can reach 4% of global annual turnover or 20 million euros, whichever is higher.

Privacy considerations must be embedded into every stage of system design and development, not retrofitted after launch.
Systems must enable individuals to exercise their rights — access, rectification, erasure, restriction, portability, and objection — within one month at no cost.
Consent must be freely given, specific, informed, and unambiguous — with equivalent ease for withdrawal as for granting.
72-hour notification window for reporting personal data breaches to the supervisory authority, with detailed documentation of all breaches.
Maintain comprehensive records of all processing activities, including purposes, categories of data subjects, third-party recipients, and retention schedules.
GDPR is the privacy baseline for every European-facing system we build, and its principles inform our approach to data architecture globally. We implement data minimisation as a default pattern — collecting only the data explicitly needed for each function and retaining it only as long as necessary. Our systems include automated data discovery for SAR fulfilment, consent management integrated into user registration and preference flows, and data portability endpoints built as standard API resources. We treat GDPR compliance not as a constraint but as a design philosophy that produces better, more trustworthy systems.
