GDPR FAQs
Common questions about GDPR compliance
Yes, GDPR applies if you process EU residents' personal data, regardless of your company's location. This includes having EU customers, website visitors, or employees. GDPR's extraterritorial scope means any organization offering goods or services to EU data subjects or monitoring their behavior must comply. Many US companies have faced significant fines, making GDPR compliance business-critical for global operations.
GDPR defines personal data as any information relating to an identified or identifiable individual. This includes direct identifiers (names, IDs, location data) and indirect identifiers that could identify someone when combined with other information. GDPR specifically protects special categories of data (health, biometric, racial, political, religious information) with stricter requirements than other privacy frameworks.
Essential GDPR requirements include: obtaining valid consent or other legal basis for processing; implementing data protection by design and default; conducting impact assessments for high-risk processing; maintaining records of processing activities; appointing a Data Protection Officer when required; ensuring proper data transfer mechanisms for cross-border transfers; and enabling data subject rights (access, erasure, portability).
GDPR violations can result in fines up to €20 million or 4% of global annual revenue, whichever is higher. Supervisory authorities can also impose remediation requirements, processing restrictions, and suspension of data flows. Recent enforcement actions have resulted in substantial penalties for major companies, with increasing focus on international data transfers and inadequate security measures.
Implement systems to verify identity and respond to requests within one month. For access requests, provide all personal data in a machine-readable format. For erasure requests, remove data across all systems unless exceptions apply. For portability requests, transfer data directly to other controllers when technically feasible. Document all requests and responses to demonstrate compliance with regulatory timelines.
