The General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) fundamentally changed how organizations must handle personal data, creating strict requirements for data collection, processing, storage, and user rights. For software developers and digital product teams, GDPR compliance isn't just a legal obligation—it requires technical implementation of privacy controls, consent mechanisms, data access features, and security measures throughout applications. Our GDPR articles explore practical approaches to building compliant digital products and services.

Learn about key GDPR principles like data minimization, purpose limitation, and privacy by design, and how to implement them in software architecture. Discover technical requirements for obtaining valid user consent, handling data subject access requests, implementing the right to be forgotten, and maintaining data processing records. Explore data protection impact assessments, security measures required to protect personal data, and managing third-party processor relationships. Understand the intersection of GDPR with development practices, how to balance compliance with user experience, and avoiding common pitfalls. These resources help development teams build privacy-respecting applications that meet GDPR requirements while maintaining functionality and usability.
