GDPR-Compliant Web Development
EU-region hosting, Privacy by Design, cookie consent and audit-ready architecture — built into every project from the first line of code.
GDPR is an engineering problem, not a checkbox
Buying a cookie banner template does not make your website GDPR-compliant. Privacy by Design — Article 25 of the regulation — means the technical defaults of your system have to respect users' rights. That happens at the architecture layer, not at the marketing layer.
We build GDPR into every project from day one. EU-region hosting, encrypted databases, role-based access, audit logs, retention policies, easy data exports and proper Data Processing Agreements with every third-party service you touch. So when a regulator, a customer or an enterprise buyer asks how you handle personal data — you have answers, not anxiety.
What we ship as standard
Every site, web app and mobile app we build for European clients includes these GDPR foundations.
EU-region hosting
Default to AWS Frankfurt, AWS London, OVH Paris or Hetzner Falkenstein. Personal data does not leave the EEA without explicit, documented consent.
Encryption at rest & in transit
TLS 1.2+ everywhere. Database-level encryption for personal data. Secrets in a managed vault, never in code.
Role-based access control
Least-privilege access for staff, customers and integrations. Every action against personal data tied to a user identity and logged.
Audit logging
Append-only audit trail of who accessed, changed or exported personal data — kept for the retention period your privacy policy specifies.
Cookie consent that works
No tracking before consent. Granular opt-in per category. Consent records timestamped and exportable. Works with Cookiebot, Iubenda or self-hosted.
Data export & deletion
One-click subject access requests and right-to-erasure. Pre-built tooling so SARs take minutes, not days.
DPAs with sub-processors
We sign a DPA with you and ensure every sub-processor (hosting, analytics, email) has one in place. Sub-processor list updated and published.
Retention & minimisation
Retention policies enforced in code, not just policy. Old records purged automatically. Forms collect only what is strictly necessary.
Breach response plan
Documented incident-response runbook so you can meet the 72-hour notification window if something goes wrong.
GDPR audits for existing sites & apps
Inherited a website or web app that's been live for years and not sure if it's compliant? We run focused GDPR engineering audits and produce a prioritised remediation plan.
What we check
- Where personal data is hosted and whether it leaves the EEA
- Encryption in transit and at rest, including database backups
- Access logs and who can read/export personal data
- Cookie consent implementation and pre-consent tracking
- Third-party scripts, analytics and ad pixels
- Form data minimisation and retention
- Sub-processor list and DPA coverage
What you get
- A plain-English audit report — risk-ranked findings, not jargon
- A prioritised remediation backlog (must-fix / should-fix / nice-to-have)
- Suggested architecture changes with effort estimates
- Sub-processor template and DPA checklist
- An optional follow-up implementation engagement to do the fixes
Typical fee: €1,800 – €4,500 depending on system size. Most audits delivered within 2 weeks.
